TLDR
The monomeric composition of the suberins from 16 species of higher plants was determined by chromatographic methods following depolymerization of the isolated extractive-free cork layers with sodium methoxide-methanol.

The Arabidopsis cytochrome P450 CYP86A1 encodes a fatty acid ω-hydroxylase involved in suberin monomer biosynthesis

TL;DR: This study demonstrates some variability in suberin amount and composition along the root axis and indicates the importance of ω-hydroxylation for suberIn biosynthesis, and identifies the cytochrome P450 fatty acid CYP86A1 (At5g58860) has been identified as a key enzyme for aliphatic root suber in Arabidopsis.

Origin of aliphatic compounds in a forest soil

TL;DR: In this paper, the aliphatic organic matter fraction in a forest soil in the Leuvenum Forest (central Netherlands) was examined by pyrolysis-GC/MS and thermochemolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The macromolecular aromatic domain in suberized tissue: a changing paradigm.

TL;DR: A revised description of the polyaromatic domain of suberized tissues, based on the consensus that is emerging from the current data, is presented and especially includes a spatially distinct (poly)hydroxycinnamoyl-containing macromolecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suberin: the biopolyester at the frontier of plants.

TL;DR: The comprehension of suberin as a macromolecule will be essential to understand its vital protective roles in plants and how they will deal with eventual environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suberin research in the genomics era--new interest for an old polymer.

TL;DR: These studies demonstrated that suberised cell walls could act as barriers, minimising the movement of water and nutrients, restricting pathogen invasion and impeding toxic gas diffusion, and provide a barrier to radial oxygen loss from roots to the anaerobic root substrate in wetland plants.

Biopolyester Membranes of Plants: Cutin and Suberin

TL;DR: The biosynthesis of the hydroxy, epoxy, and dicarboxylic acids of the polyesters from the common cellular fatty acids is elucidated and the function and possible practical implications of these polyester barriers are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution and structure of the plasmodesmata in mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells of Zea mays L.

TL;DR: The movement of photosynthetic intermediates between mesophyll and sheath cells is restricted largely or entirely to the plasmodesmata (symplastic pathway) and transpirational water movement to the cell walls (apoplastic pathway).

Structure and composition of aliphatic constituents of potato tuber skin (suberin)

P. E. Kolattukudy, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1974 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and composition of potato tuber skin (suberin) were determined by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and a method of distinguishing between suberin and cutin and a biosynthetic pathway was suggested.

Epoxyoctadecanoic acids in plant cutins and suberins

TL;DR: Three C 18 epoxy acids occur in plant cutins and suberins and can be easily converted into their corresponding alkoxyhydrin alkyl esters on depolymerization of cutin or suberin by alcoholysis.
