Suberin: the biopolyester at the frontier of plants [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Histochemical Staining of Suberin in Plant Roots [PDF]

open access: yesBio-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 ...

The making of suberin

open access: yesNew 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]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Demystifying suberin

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Botany, 2002
Suberin is a term used to define a specific cell wall component that occurs, for example, in phellem (cork) endodermal and exodermal cells and is characterized by the deposition of both poly(phenolic) and poly(aliphatic) domains. Historically, the poly(phenolic) domain has been likened to lignin, and while there is an element of truth to this ...

Role of suberin for defense responses in potato [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Suberin is a heteropolymer composed of polyaliphatic linked with polyphenolic components, presumed to be important for wound healing from plants. A number of studies have shown plants lacking suberin, but few have investigated their interactions with pathogens and wounding.

Transcriptional regulation of suberin and its response to the environment [PDF]

open access: yesXibei zhiwu xuebao
[Objective] Suberin is a polyester type biopolymer that specifically deposits in tissues such as the endodermis, periderm, seed coat, and wound epidermis of plants.

MYB107 and MYB9 Homologs Regulate Suberin Deposition in Angiosperms [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2016
Suberin, a polymer composed of both aliphatic and aromatic domains, is deposited as a rough matrix upon plant surface damage and during normal growth in the root endodermis, bark, specialized organs (e.g., potato [Solanum tuberosum] tubers), and seed coats.

Cutin and Suberin Polyesters

open access: yes, 2016
Cutin and suberin are cell wall‐associated glycerolipid polymers that are specific to plants. Cutin forms the framework of the cuticle sealing the aerial epidermis, while suberin is present in the periderm of barks and underground organs. Suberised walls are also found in the root endodermis.

Biomimetic synthesis of suberin for new biomaterials

open access: yes, 2005
Suberin is the biopolymer giving cork (oak bark) its hydrophobic and resistant characteristics. It acts as a diffusion barrier in bark and roots of plants.
