Molina et al. show that transcription factors of the MYB68 subclade promote cork differentiation in the Arabidopsis root. On the one hand, they activate suberin biosynthesis and polymerizing enzymes; on the other hand, they repress cork cambium proliferation by interfering with the function of WOX4 and BP.

Ferulic acid amides are naturally present in the cell walls of potato (Solanum tuberosum) periderms. In this study, we investigated their modes of inc…

Root cells are organized into concentric layers that facilitate the movement of water and nutrients. Among these, the endodermis overlays the root vasculature, allowing it to play a major role in…

In this study, Kraska et al. identify MYB68 as a novel regulator of endodermal suberization, linked to the formation of distinct identities in the xylem-pole-associated endodermis. The research uncove...

In this study, Kraska et al. identify MYB68 as a novel regulator of endodermal suberization, linked to the formation of distinct identities in the xylem-pole-associated endodermis. The research uncovers new insights into the patterning of the endodermis with suberin and highlights genes encoding K-transport proteins associated with endodermal passage cells.

Cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (cryo-FIBSEM) has become essential for preparing electron-transparent lamellae from cryo-plunged and high-pressure frozen specimens. However, targeti...
