Suberin as a bio-based flame-retardant?
BioResources, 2023 Fire hazard is a constant risk in everyday life with the use of combustibles such as polymeric materials, wood, and fabrics, to name a few. Halogenated compounds have been widely used as efficient flame-retardants, often being applied as coatings or ...

Characterization of MdMYB68, a suberin master regulator in russeted apples
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionApple russeting is mainly due to the accumulation of suberin in the cell wall in response to defects and damages in the cuticle layer. Over the last decades, massive efforts have been done to better understand the complex interplay between ...

Plant root suberin: A layer of defence against biotic and abiotic stresses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plant roots have important functions, such as acquiring nutrients and water from the surrounding soil and transporting them upwards to the shoots. Simultaneously, they must be able to exclude potentially harmful substances and prevent the entry of ...

Extracellular vesiculo-tubular structures associated with suberin deposition in plant cell walls
Nature Communications, 2022 Suberizing plant cells export suberin monomers outside of the cell to form a hydrophobic barrier. Here the authors propose a role for extracellular vesiculo-tubular structures in the deposition of suberin monomers.

Histochemical Staining of Suberin in Plant Roots [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Histological stains are useful tools for characterizing cell shape, arrangement and the material they are made from. Stains can be used individually or simultaneously to mark different cell structures or polymers within the same cells, and to visualize ...

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 ...
