Mechanical cues trigger phellem differentiation during barrier transition
ABSTRACT A continuous and uninterrupted barrier tissue is essential for protecting internal tissues from the external environment. In many dicot roots, the endodermis fulfils this role during primary growth; however, the onset of secondary growth in the vascular tissue coincides with the rupture of the overlying ...

Optical clearing of apple tissues for in vivo imaging of the pathogenic behavior of the fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea on host surfaces [PDF]
Applied MicroscopyOptical clearing of apple tissues was performed to observe the pre-penetration behavior of Botryosphaeria dothidea. Mature red fruits and two-year-old twigs were artificially inoculated with the fungal conidia.

The Tomato Feruloyl Transferase FHT Promoter Is an Accurate Identifier of Early Development and Stress-Induced Suberization [PDF]
Plants, 2023 As a wall polymer, suberin has a multifaceted role in plant development and stress responses. It is deposited between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall in specialized tissues such as root exodermis, endodermis, phellem, and seed coats.

Tolerance to partial and complete submergence in the forage legumeMelilotus siculus: an evaluation of 15 accessions for petiole hyponastic response and gas-filled spaces, leaf hydrophobicity and gas films, and root phellem [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2018 Submergence is a severe stress for most plants. Melilotus siculus is a waterlogging- (i.e. root zone hypoxia) tolerant annual forage legume, but data were lacking for the effects of partial and full submergence of the shoots. The aim was to compare the tolerance to partial and full submergence of 15 M.

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 Russeting refers to an area of fruit skin where the primary (epidermal) surface has been replaced by a secondary (peridermal) surface.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
