This research focuses on the endodermis in plant roots, investigating how it regulates ion and water uptake through barrier mechanisms. By studying the symplastic flux and manipulating endodermal cells, the project aims to improve understanding of plant nutrient transport under stress conditions.
Roots must tightly balance uptake of ions and water from the soil into their vasculature.
For this purpose, they developed complex systems of barrier mechanisms.
The endodermis layer encircles the vasculature and via the casparian strip (CS) and suberin acts as such a barrier.
The CS blocks flux outside of cells (the apoplastic flux), and leaves only the symplastic pathway open for the exchange of molecules.
Endodermis cell walls undergo suberisation dependent on phloem pole (PP) or xylem pole (…
