The periderm acts as armor protecting the plant's inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stress.
It forms during the radial thickening of plant organs such as stems and roots and replaces …

Suberin is a specialized cell wall modifying polymer comprising both phenolic-derived and
fatty acid-derived monomers, which is deposited in below-ground dermal tissues (epidermis …

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer that can be deposited at the periphery of cells, forming
protective barriers against biotic and abiotic stress. In roots, suberin forms lamellae at the …

Plant cells coated with hydrophobic compounds constitute a protective barrier to control
movement of materials through plant tissues. In roots, the endodermis develops two barriers …

Root endodermis, the innermost cortical layer surrounding the root vasculature, serves as
the foremost barrier to water, solutes, and nutrients taken up from soil. Endodermis barrier …

Caffeine is an important functional substance and is abundant in tea plant, but little is known
about how its biosynthesis is regulated by transcription factors. In this study, the NAC-like …

Drought is the main abiotic stress that constrains sugarcane growth and production. To
understand the molecular mechanisms that govern drought stress, we performed a …

Suberin is a natural biopolymer found in a variety of specialized tissues, including seed coat
integuments, root endodermis, tree bark, potato tuber skin and the russeted and reticulated …

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer of significance in the production of biomass-derived
materials and in biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we describe …

Plants are frequently exposed to herbivory and mechanical damage that result in wounding.
Two fundamental strategies, regeneration and healing, are employed by plants upon …
