Plant biology: journey to the center of the Casparian Strip [PDF]

Current Biology, 2020
Diffusion barriers in roots play an important role in regulating the movement of compounds between the soilenvironment and the vasculature. A new study provides new mechanistic insights into how a pair of copper-binding proteins facilitate the formation ...

Functional and Evolutionary Analysis of the CASPARIAN STRIP MEMBRANE DOMAIN PROTEIN Family [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2014
CASPARIAN STRIP MEMBRANE DOMAIN PROTEINS (CASPs) are four-membrane-span proteins that mediate the deposition of Casparian strips in the endodermis by recruiting the lignin polymerization machinery.

Spatial Expression and Functional Analysis of Casparian Strip Regulatory Genes in Endodermis Reveals the Conserved Mechanism in Tomato [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Casparian strip (CS) is an impregnation of endodermal cell wall, forming an apoplastic diffusion barrier which forces the symplastic and selective transport of nutrients across endodermis.

Phosphorus-Deficiency-Induced Development of Root Apoplastic Barriers Restricts Cadmium Translocation in Salix caprea [PDF]

Plants
Phosphorus (P) plays a crucial role in the translocation and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in plants; however, its effects on Cd transport via the apoplastic pathway remain unclear.

Uclacyanin proteins are required for lignified nanodomain formation within Casparian strips [PDF]

, 2020
Casparian strips (CS) are cell wall modifications of vascular plants restricting extracellular free diffusion into and out the vascular system. This barrier plays a critical role in controlling the acquisition of nutrients and water necessary for normal ...

Casparian strip diffusion barrier in Arabidopsis is made of a lignin polymer without suberin [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
Casparian strips are ring-like cell-wall modifications in the root endodermis of vascular plants. Their presence generates a paracellular barrier, analogous to animal tight junctions, that is thought to be crucial for selective nutrient uptake, exclusion

Adaptation of morphological traits and anatomy structure related to Cd spatial distribution in wild rice Oryza officinalis and Oryza rufipogon roots [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice poses significant risks to public health. Wild rice as the ancestor of cultivated rice is regarded as a treasure trove of rice germplasm resources. Two wild rice Oryza officinalis Wall.

Label-free structural imaging of plant roots and microbes using third-harmonic generation microscopy [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Root biology is pivotal in addressing global challenges including sustainable agriculture and climate change. However, roots have been relatively understudied among plant organs, partly due to the difficulties in imaging root structures in their natural ...

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance [PDF]

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

Targeted imaging of specialized plant cell walls by improved cryo-CLEM and cryo-electron tomography [PDF]

Nature Communications
Cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-FIBSEM) has become essential for preparing cryo-lamellae. Here, we present a series of improvements that speed up and enhance the efficiency of the Serial Lift-Out and SOLIST (Serialized On-grid ...
