This project focuses on understanding the formation and function of the Casparian Strip in plant root endodermis, which acts as a barrier between soil and vascular tissues. It aims to investigate the dynamics of this structure during root growth and lateral root emergence using advanced imaging techniques.
Epithelial polarity is a fundamental feature of multi-cellular life and model systems for animal epithelia have been intensely investigated for decades.
One tissue that displays all the hallmarks of an epithelium is the root endodermis.
In plants, the endodermis functions as a crucial barrier, separating the outer apoplastic space of the cortical cell layers, often in direct contact with the soil, from the inner apoplastic space of the vascular bundle.
To create this barrier, endodermal cells se…
