A single-nuclei transcriptome census of the Arabidopsis maturing root identifies that MYB67 controls phellem cell maturation [PDF]
Developmental CellThe periderm provides a protective barrier in many seed plant species. The development of the suberized phellem, which forms the outermost layer of this important tissue, has become a trait of interest for enhancing both plant resilience to stresses and plant-mediated CO2 sequestration in soils.

Naturally russeted and wound russeted skins of mango (cv. ‘Apple’) show no differences in anatomy, chemical composition or gene expression [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe mango cultivar ‘Apple’ is commercially important in Kenya but highly susceptible to russeting. Russeting refers to an area of fruit skin where the primary (epidermal) surface has been replaced by a secondary (peridermal) surface. The objective was to
