The Key Enzymes in the Suberin Biosynthetic Pathway in Plants: An Update

Gal Nomberg et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the current knowledge on genes/enzymes associated with the suberin biosynthetic pathway in plants. The composition of suberin and the function of these genes/enzymes in suberin synthesis, transport, and regulation are discussed. The consequences of altered expression/accumulation of these genes/enzymes in transgenic plants are also outlined.

Radial transport difference mediated by root endodermal barriers contributes to differential cadmium accumulation between japonica and indica subspecies of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Qi Tao et al.

Summary: The differences in endodermal differentiation and Cd radial transport between japonica and indica subspecies of rice were characterized in this study. Japonica subspecies had earlier formation of Casparian strips and suberin lamellae, leading to higher lignin/suberin content and stronger inhibition on Cd radial transport compared to indica subspecies. The findings provide insights for genetic modification to develop rice with low Cd-accumulating ability.

Building and breaking of a barrier: Suberin plasticity and function in the endodermis

Vinay Shukla et al.

Summary: Plant cells are protected by a hydrophobic barrier, with the endodermis developing Casparian strips and suberin lamellae to control material movement. While the enzymes involved in suberin biosynthesis are well characterized, further steps in suberin formation and regulation are still unclear. Recent studies on suberin from a cell biological perspective have provided insights into suberin transport and polymerization in the cell wall, revealing the molecular mechanisms controlling suberin biosynthesis and regulation in plant interactions.

WRKY9 transcription factor regulates cytochrome P450 genes CYP94B3 and CYP86B1, leading to increased root suberin and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis

Pannaga Krishnamurthy et al.

Summary: This study identified the importance of two cytochrome P450 genes in A. officinalis for salt adaptation, as well as their role in enhancing salt tolerance by reducing Na+ accumulation and regulating suberin deposition in roots. Additionally, AtWRKY9 was found to be an upstream regulator of AtCYP94B3 and AtCYP86B1 in Arabidopsis, highlighting its role in controlling suberin deposition and salt tolerance.

Root Suberin Plays Important Roles in Reducing Water Loss and Sodium Uptake in Arabidopsis thaliana

Nayana D. G. de Silva et al.

Summary: The composition and lamellae structure of suberin play key roles in protecting plants against abiotic stresses such as drought and salt. Mutants with altered suberin composition and lamellae structure showed increased sensitivity, while mutants without structural defects exhibited responses similar to the wild-type under drought and salt stresses.

SbCASP4 improves salt exclusion by enhancing the root apoplastic barrier

Xiaocen Wei et al.

Summary: The gene SbCASP4 plays an important role in salt tolerance in sweet sorghum by enhancing the root apoplastic barrier and blocking the transport of sodium ions to the shoot. Sweet sorghum, a C4 crop, is known for its high biomass and ability to tolerate abiotic stresses. SbCASP4 can improve plant salt tolerance through these mechanisms.
