Silicification of Root Tissues
Plants, 2020 Silicon (Si) is not considered an essential element, however, its tissue concentration can exceed that of many essential elements in several evolutionary distant plant species. Roots take up Si using Si transporters and then translocate it to aboveground

The dynamics of silicon deposition in the sorghum root endodermis [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 • The dynamics of silica deposition and Si aggregates formation in inner tangential walls of root endodermal cells, which occurs as an additional stage of endodermal development in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), were studied. • An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and X-ray microanalyzer (EDAX) were used to study sorghum roots grown ...

Using Evolution as a Guide to Engineer Kranz-Type C4 photosynthesis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Kranz-type C4 photosynthesis has independently and rapidly evolved over sixty times to dramatically increase radiation use efficiency in both monocots and eudicots. Indeed, it is one of the most exceptional examples of convergent evolution in the history

Cadmium Tolerance During Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Schinus molle (Anacardiaceae)
Floresta e Ambiente, 2020 Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic elements to plants, so Cd-tolerant trees should be used in reforestation or remediation systems. In this study the effects of Cd on seed germination and early seedling growth were evaluated in Schinus molle plants ...

Beyond the Barrier: Communication in the Root through the Endodermis [PDF]
PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, 2014 The root endodermis is characterized by the Casparian strip and by the suberin lamellae, two hydrophobic barriers that restrict the free diffusion of molecules between the inner cell layers of the root and the outer environment. The presence of these barriers and the position of the endodermis between the inner and outer parts of the root require that ...

Building and breaking of a barrier: Suberin plasticity and function in the endodermis
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2021 Plant cells coated with hydrophobic compounds constitute a protective barrier to control movement of materials through plant tissues. In roots, the endodermis develops two barriers: the Casparian strips establish an apoplastic barrier and suberin lamellae prevent diffusion through the plasma membrane.
