Silicon Alters Leaf Surface Morphology and Suppresses Insect Herbivory in a Model Grass Species
Plants, 2020 Grasses accumulate large amounts of silicon (Si) which is deposited in trichomes, specialised silica cells and cell walls. This may increase leaf toughness and reduce cell rupture, palatability and digestion.

A positive regulatory loop between foxi3a and foxi3b is essential for specification and differentiation of zebrafish epidermal ionocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Epidermal ionocytes play essential roles in the transepithelial transportation of ions, water, and acid-base balance in fish embryos before their branchial counterparts are fully functional.

Developmental patterning of sub-epidermal cells in the outer integument of Arabidopsis seeds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The seed, the reproductive unit of angiosperms, is generally protected by the seed coat. The seed coat is made of one or two integuments, each comprising two epidermal cells layers and, in some cases, extra sub-epidermal cell layers. The thickness of the

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2012 The Cyperaceae show the ability to incorporate silicon by depositing colloidal silica, which is recorded by the occurrence of projections in the form of cones, in inner tangential walls of some epidermal cells or "silica cells". Leaves of C.

DNA-damage induced cell death in yap1;wwtr1 mutant epidermal basal cells
eLife, 2022 In a previous study, it was reported that Yap1 and Wwtr1 in zebrafish regulates the morphogenesis of the posterior body and epidermal fin fold (Kimelman et al., 2017).

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1983 Stem cells are by definition present in all self-renewing tissues and are believed to play a central role in cell growth and differentiation. Existing evidence suggests that a subpopulation of epidermal basal keratinocytes represents stem cells; however, these cells have never been positively identified.

Programmed Cell Death Progresses Differentially in Epidermal and Mesophyll Cells of Lily Petals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In the petals of some species of flowers, programmed cell death (PCD) begins earlier in mesophyll cells than in epidermal cells. However, PCD progression in each cell type has not been characterized in detail.
