A Casparian strip domain-like gene, CASPL, negatively alters growth and cold tolerance [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractA cold-induced transcript encoding a Casparian strip membrane domain (CASP)-like protein (ClCASPL) was identified in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). Fluorescence microscopy analysis showed that ClCASPL-GFP is localized in the plasma membrane. The orthologous gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (AtCASPL4C1) was also found to play an important role in ...

CASPARIAN STRIP INTEGRITY FACTOR (CIF) family peptides - regulator of plant extracellular barriers
Peptides, 2021 In multicellular organisms, water and most of the small molecules, such as nutrients, toxic substances, and signaling compounds, move freely through extracellular spaces, depending on their biochemical nature. To restrict the simple diffusion of small molecules, multicellular organisms have evolved extracellular barriers across specific tissue layers ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

De novo assembly of Phlomis purpurea after challenging with Phytophthora cinnamomi
BMC Genomics, 2017 Background Phlomis plants are a source of biological active substances with potential applications in the control of phytopathogens. Phlomis purpurea (Lamiaceae) is autochthonous of southern Iberian Peninsula and Morocco and was found to be resistant to ...

Lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis thaliana: a force awakens [PDF]
, 2015 Osmotically driven turgor pressure of plant cells can be higher than that of a car tire. It puts tremendous forces onto cell walls and drives cell growth and changes in cell shape.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The mechanisms controlling lateral root emergence in monocots, particularly the role of the exodermis, are poorly understood. We investigated how natural variation in the Brachypodium distachyon stress response shapes root system architecture by modulating cell wall dynamics.
