The project focuses on the development of the endodermis and exodermis in tomato roots, which are crucial for regulating nutrient and water uptake. By comparing these layers' differentiation, it aims to enhance understanding of plant adaptation to various environments at both phenotypic and molecular levels.
The root system anchors the plant and its cells absorb water and nutrients.
Since plants are sessile organisms, controlling external compound entry is essential for plant survival.
In vascular plants, the endodermis is the innermost root ground tissue cell layer that controls entry to the plant vasculature by formation of a barrier for free diffusion of solutes from the soil.
Moreover, many plant species also contain an exodermis layer which also acts as a barrier.
The exodermis is located inter…
