This project investigates the formation of Casparian strips in plant roots, focusing on identifying essential genes for their assembly. By utilizing advanced gene activation techniques, the research aims to enhance our understanding of root development and nutrient uptake in plants.
In plants, the root endodermis functions as a barrier, allowing the selective uptake of nutrients and water.
The barrier is formed by cell wall impregnations called Casparian strips (CS), produced by differentiating endodermal cells.
In the last decade, pioneering work on the endodermis has identified numerous players involved in CS formation, including transmembrane proteins, peroxidases, dirigent-like proteins, lignin polymerising enzymes, laccases and super-oxide dismutases.
