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.

New direct contact approach to evaluate soil genotoxicity using the Vicia faba micronucleus test. [PDF]
, 2009 A method to assess micronucleus (MN) induction in Vicia faba roots by direct contact exposure to a solid matrix was developed. The procedure comprised a 5-d germination period, as in the well-known method using aqueous extracts.

Role of LOTR1 in nutrient transport through organization of spatial distribution of root endodermal barriers [PDF]
, 2017 The formation of Casparian strips and suberin lamellae at the endodermis limits the free diffusion of nutrients and harmful substances via the apoplastic space between the soil solution and the stele in roots [1–3].

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.
