Root vacuolar sequestration and suberization are prominent responses of Pistacia spp. rootstocks during salinity stress

Plant Direct, 2021
Understanding the mechanisms of stress tolerance in diverse species is needed to enhance crop performance under conditions such as high salinity. Plant roots, in particular in grafted agricultural crops, can function as a boundary against external ...

CASP microdomain formation requires cross cell wall stabilization of domains and non-cell autonomous action of LOTR1

eLife, 2022
Efficient uptake of nutrients in both animal and plant cells requires tissue-spanning diffusion barriers separating inner tissues from the outer lumen/soil. However, we poorly understand how such contiguous three-dimensional superstructures are formed in

Tracing root permeability: comparison of tracer methods

Biologia Plantarum, 2016
Root epidermis and apoplastic barriers (endodermis and exodermis) are the critical root structures involved in setting up plant-soil interface by regulating free apoplastic movement of solutes within root tissues. Probing root apoplast permeability with "

Rice OsCASP1 orchestrates Casparian strip formation and suberin deposition in small lateral roots to maintain nutrient homeostasis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Arabidopsis Casparian strip membrane domain proteins (CASPs) form a transmembrane scaffold to recruit lignin biosynthetic enzymes for Casparian strip (CS) formation.

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 promoter from SlREO, a highly-expressed, root-specific Solanum lycopersicum gene, directs expression to cortex of mature roots [PDF]

, 2008
Root-specific promoters are valuable tools for targeting transgene expression, but many of those already described have limitations to their general applicability.

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 ...
