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 ...

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms [PDF]
, 2020 Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

Silicon Promotes Exodermal Casparian Band Formation in Si-Accumulating and Si-Excluding Species by Forming Phenol Complexes [PDF]
, 2015 We studied the effect of Silicon (Si) on Casparian band (CB) development, chemical composition of the exodermal CB and Si deposition across the root in the Si accumulators rice and maize and the Si non-accumulator onion.

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.

Elucidating how the saprophytic fungus Aspergillus nidulans uses the plant polyester suberin as carbon source [PDF]
, 2014 Lipid polymers in plant cell walls, such as cutin and suberin, build recalcitrant hydrophobic protective barriers. Their degradation is of foremost importance for both plant pathogenic and saprophytic fungi.

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 impregnations.
