Suberin: the biopolyester at the frontier of plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015 Suberin is a lipophilic macromolecule found in specialized plant cell walls, wherever insulation or protection towards the surroundings is needed. Suberized cells form the periderm, the tissue that envelops secondary stems as part of the bark, and ...

Suberin Goes Genomics: Use of a Short Living Plant to Investigate a Long Lasting Polymer
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Suberin is a highly persistent cell wall polymer, predominantly composed of long-chain hydroxylated fatty acids. Apoplastic suberin depositions occur in internal and peripheral dermal tissues where they generate lipophilic barriers preventing ...
