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 endodermis—development and differentiation of the plant’s inner skin [PDF]
Protoplasma, 2011 Controlling external compound entrance is essential for plant survival. To set up an efficient and selective sorting of nutrients, free diffusion via the apoplast in vascular plants is blocked at the level of the endodermis. Although we have learned a lot about endodermal specification in the last years, information regarding its differentiation is ...

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 ...

Coordination between microbiota and root endodermis supports plant mineral nutrient homeostasis [PDF]
Science, 2021 Microbes modify plant root permeability The root provides mineral nutrients and water to the plant. Diffusion barriers seal the root, preventing the loss of internal water and nutrients. Salas-González et al. found that microbes living on and in roots of the model plant
