An ABC Transporter Is Involved in the Silicon-Induced Formation of Casparian Bands in the Exodermis of Rice [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Silicon (Si) promotes the formation of Casparian bands (CB) in rice and reduces radial oxygen loss (ROL). Further transcriptomic approaches revealed several candidate genes involved in the Si-induced formation of CB such as ATP binding cassette (ABC ...

Silicon Promotes Exodermal Casparian Band Formation in Si-Accumulating and Si-Excluding Species by Forming Phenol Complexes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We studied the effect of Silicon (Si) on Casparian band (CB) development, chemical composition of the exodermal CB and Si deposition across the root in the Si accumulators rice and maize and the Si non-accumulator onion.

Tetraploidy enhances boron-excess tolerance in Carrizo Citrange (Citrus sinensis L. Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata L. Raf.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Tetraploidy modifies root anatomy which may lead to differentiated capacity to uptake and transport mineral elements. This work provides insights into physiological and molecular characters involved in boron (B) toxicity responses in diploid (2x) and ...

Regulatory Roles of MYB Transcription Factors in Root Barrier Under Abiotic Stress [PDF]
PlantsPlant roots form highly specialized apoplastic barriers that regulate the exchange of water, ions, and solutes between the soil and vascular tissues, thereby protecting plant survival under environmental stress.

OsPIP2;4 aquaporin water channel primarily expressed in roots of rice mediates both water and nonselective Na+ and K+ conductance [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAquaporin (AQP)-dependent water transport across membranes is indispensable in plants. Recent evidence shows that several AQPs, including plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), facilitate the electrogenic transport of ions as well as water transport ...

Physiological and anatomical differences between subtropical forage plants grown in waterlogged alkaline-sodic soil [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2023 The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of 26 days of waterlogging, compared with field capacity, on different traits of the forage plants 'Finecut' Chloris gayana, 'Klein Verde' Panicum coloratum, and 'Shawnee' Panicum virgatum, grown in ...
