Casparian strips prevent apoplastic diffusion of boric acid into root steles for excess B tolerance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Casparian strips are ring-like structures consisting of lignin, sealing the apoplastic space between endodermal cells. They are thought to have important functions in controlling radial transport of nutrients and toxic elements in roots.
