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 ...

New Phytologist, 2022 SummaryOuter protective barriers of animals use a variety of bio‐polymers, based on either proteins (e.g. collagens), or modified sugars (e.g. chitin). Plants, however, have come up with a particular solution, based on the polymerisation of lipid‐like precursors, giving rise to cutin and suberin.

Surface Properties of Suberin [PDF]
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1997 The surface energy of suberin was determined by four different methods, namely, (i) contact angle measurements, (ii) Wilhelmy plate measurements, (iii) maximum bubble pressure, and (iv) inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The first three methods gave a gammasub value in the range 40-50 mN m-1 at room temperature.

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 ...

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 ...

Mutations in UDP-Glucose:Sterol Glucosyltransferase in Arabidopsis Cause Transparent Testa Phenotype and Suberization Defect in Seeds [PDF]
, 2009 In higher plants, the most abundant sterol derivatives are steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl SGs. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc:sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the ...

Enhancing microRNA167A expression in seed decreases the α-linolenic acid content and increases seed size in Camelina sativa. [PDF]
, 2019 Despite well established roles of microRNAs in plant development, few aspects have been addressed to understand their effects in seeds especially on lipid metabolism.
