Exodermis and Endodermis Respond to Nutrient Deficiency in Nutrient-Specific and Localized Manner [PDF]
The exodermis is a common apoplastic barrier of the outer root cortex, with high environmentally-driven plasticity and a protective function. This study focused on the trade-off between the protective advantages provided by the exodermis and its ...

An ABC Transporter Is Involved in the Silicon-Induced Formation of Casparian Bands in the Exodermis of Rice [PDF]
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 ...

Transcription factors SlMYB41, SlMYB92, and SlWRKY71 regulate gene expression in the tomato exodermis [PDF]
Abstract Root barrier cell types, like the endodermis and exodermis, are crucial for plant acclimation to environmental stresses. Deposition of suberin, a hydrophobic polymer, in these cell layers restricts the movement of molecules and plays a vital role in stress responses.

A suberized exodermis is required for tomato drought tolerance. [PDF]
SUMMARY Plant roots integrate environmental signals and developmental programs using exquisite spatiotemporal control. This is apparent in the deposition of suberin, an apoplastic diffusion barrier, which regulates the entry and exit of water, solutes and gases, and is environmentally plastic.

Root tip excision-induced exodermis lignification impacts lateral root emergence in Brachypodium distachyon. [PDF]
Summary The mechanisms controlling lateral root emergence in monocots, particularly the role of the exodermis, are poorly understood. We investigated how natural variation in the Brachypodium distachyon

Exodermis and endodermis are the sites of xanthone biosynthesis in Hypericum perforatum roots [PDF]
Summary Xanthones are specialized metabolites with antimicrobial properties, which accumulate in roots of Hypericum perforatum. This medicinal plant provides widely taken remedies for depressive episodes and skin disorders. Owing to the array of pharmacological activities, xanthone derivatives attract attention for drug design.

Adaptation of morphological traits and anatomy structure related to Cd spatial distribution in wild rice Oryza officinalis and Oryza rufipogon roots [PDF]
Background Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice poses significant risks to public health. Wild rice as the ancestor of cultivated rice is regarded as a treasure trove of rice germplasm resources. Two wild rice Oryza officinalis Wall.

Composite Transport Model and Water and Solute Transport across Plant Roots: An Update
The present review examines recent experimental findings in root transport phenomena in terms of the composite transport model (CTM). It has been a well-accepted conceptual model to explain the complex water and solute flows across the root that has been

Lignin accumulation in cell wall plays a role in clubroot resistance [PDF]
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a significant disease affecting brassica crops worldwide and poses a threat to canola (Brassica napus) production in western Canada.

The onion exodermis is made up of two cell types, i.e., long and short cells. Both form Casparian bands, but suberin lamella development is absent or delayed in the short cells. Long cells did not accumulate fluorescein, a common test for cell vitality, because of reduced wall permeability due to suberin lamella development.
