PETERSON, C. A. & PERUMALLA, C. J., 1990. A survey of angiosperm species to detect hypodermal Casparian bands. II. Roots with a multiseriate hypodermis or epidermis.
Roots of 25 species which had either a multiseriate hypodermis or a multiseriate epidermis were tested for the presence of a hypodermal Casparian band. All species save one were in the Liliopsida and six were orchids with both soil and aerial roots. Lignosuberized hypodermal Casparian bands were present in all species tested; those with a biseriate hypodermis had bands in both layers and of those with a multiseriate hypodermis, the three species which were tested had bands in every layer. Although Casparian bands can often be recognized by the presence of sinuous walls in longitudinal views of uniseriate hypodermal layers, these sinuosities were not evident in multiseriate hypodermal layers containing Casparian bands. The lack of air spaces, once thought to be a characteristic feature of the hypodermis, did not hold true for some members of the Liliopsida. All walls of the hypodermis were suberized, indicating that suberin lamellae were probably present in addition to Casparian bands. We recommend using the term 'exodermis' to refer to a hypodermis which has a Casparian band. Epidermal walls of non-orchid roots were suberized whereas those of orchids were lignified. Regardless of their type of modification, all epidermal walls were permeable to the apoplastic dye, Cellufluor.  相似文献

PERUMALLA, C. J., CHMIELEWSKI, J. G. & PETERSON, C A., 1990. A survey of angiosperm species to detect hypodermal Casparian bands. III. Rhizomes. Rhizomes of ten species of the class Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledoneae) and five species of the class Liliopsida (Monocotyledoneae) were studied to determine whether Casparian bands exist in their hypodermes. The hypodermal walls of rhizomes of all species surveyed appeared autofluorescent under violet light. In sections cleared with NaOH and stained with Chelidonium majus root extract, the radial walls and sometimes the tangential walls of the hypodermis showed bright fluorescence. When the rhizomes were treated with the apoplastic dye, Cellufluor, the dye was initially blocked by the cuticle. When the continuity of the cuticle was disrupted with a needle before treating with Cellufluor, the dye penetrated all the walls of the epidermis and the outer tangential walls of the hypodermis but was blocked by the radial walls of the hypodermis. The walls of the hypodermis stained positively for suberin or suberin and lignin and were resistant to treatment with concentrated sulphuric acid. On the basis of the above tests, it is concluded that Casparian bands are present in the hypodermis of rhizomes of all species surveyed.  相似文献

Structural features of the mature root cortex and its apoplasticpermeability to dyes have been determined for two dicotyledonouswetland plants of differing habitats: Nymphaea odorata, growingrooted in water and mud, and Caltha palustris, growing in temporalwetlands among cattails. In mature roots, movement of the apoplasticdyes, berberine and safranin, into the roots was blocked atthe hypodermis, indicating the presence of an exodermis. A hypodermiswith an exodermis, i.e. Casparian bands in the outermost uniseriatelayer plus suberin lamellae, is present in both species. InN. odorata, hypodermal walls are further modified with cellulosicsecondary walls. Roots of N. odorata and C. palustris have anendodermis with Casparian bands only. A honeycomb aerenchymais produced by differential expansion in N. odorata and includesastrosclereids and diaphragms, while roots of C. palustris haveno aerenchyma, but some irregular lacunae are found in old roots.These aspects of cortex structure are related to an open meristemorganization, with unusual patterns of cell divisions in certainground meristem cells (called semi-regular hexagon cells) ofN. odorata. The correlation between aerenchyma pattern and hypodermalstructure appears to be related to habitat differences.Copyright2000 Annals of Botany Company Caltha palustris, Nymphaea odorata, root development, cortex, endodermis, aerenchyma, exodermis, hypodermis, permeability, wetland plants  相似文献

The hydraulic conductivity of roots (Lpr) of 6- to 8-d-old maize seedlings has been related to the chemical composition of apoplastic transport barriers in the endodermis and hypodermis (exodermis), and to the hydraulic conductivity of root cortical cells. Roots were cultivated in two different ways. When grown in aeroponic culture, they developed an exodermis (Casparian band in the hypodermal layer), which was missing in roots from hydroponics. The development of Casparian bands and suberin lamellae was observed by staining with berberin-aniline-blue and Sudan-III. The compositions of suberin and lignin were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively after depolymerization (BF3/methanol-transesterification, thioacidolysis) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Root Lpr was measured using the root pressure probe, and the hydraulic conductivity of cortical cells (Lp) using the cell pressure probe. Roots from the two cultivation methods differed significantly in (i) the Lpr evaluated from hydrostatic relaxations (factor of 1.5), and (ii) the amounts of lignin and aliphatic suberin in the hypodermal layer of the apical root zone. Aliphatic suberin is thought to be the major reason for the hydrophobic properties of apoplastic barriers and for their relatively low permeability to water. No differences were found in the amounts of suberin in the hypodermal layers of basal root zones and in the endodermal layer. In order to verify that changes in root Lpr were not caused by changes in hydraulic conductivity at the membrane level, cell Lp was measured as well. No differences were found in the Lp values of cells from roots cultivated by the two different methods. It was concluded that changes in the hydraulic conductivity of the apoplastic rather than of the cell-to-cell path were causing the observed changes in root Lpr.

Forty-three species of seedless vascular plants were assessed for modifications to root cortical cell walls. All species except Lycopodium had an endodermis with distinct Casparian bands. Experiments with the apoplastic tracer berberine hemisulfate showed that walls of all root cortical cells in the two Lycopodium species tested were permeable to this tracer. Although most species examined lacked a hypodermis several Equisetum species had a hypodermis with modified walls. Three Selaginella species had distinct Casparian bands in this cortical cell layer. This layer, therefore, is an exodermis in Selaginella and its presence limited the inward diffusion of the apoplastic tracer berberine hemisulfate.  相似文献

Suberin is a complex polymer composed of aliphatic and phenolic compounds. It is a constituent of apoplastic plant interfaces. In many plant species, including rice (Oryza sativa), the hypodermis in the outer part of roots forms a suberized cell wall (the Casparian strip and/or suberin lamellae), which inhibits the flow of water and ions and protects against pathogens. To date, there is no genetic evidence that suberin forms an apoplastic transport barrier in the hypodermis. We discovered that a rice reduced culm number1 (rcn1) mutant could not develop roots longer than 100 mm in waterlogged soil. The mutated gene encoded an ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporter named RCN1/OsABCG5. RCN1/OsABCG5 gene expression in the wild type was increased in most hypodermal and some endodermal roots cells under stagnant deoxygenated conditions. A GFP‐RCN1/OsABCG5 fusion protein localized at the plasma membrane of the wild type. Under stagnant deoxygenated conditions, well suberized hypodermis developed in wild types but not in rcn1 mutants. Under stagnant deoxygenated conditions, apoplastic tracers (periodic acid and berberine) were blocked at the hypodermis in the wild type but not in rcn1, indicating that the apoplastic barrier in the mutant was impaired. The amount of the major aliphatic suberin monomers originating from C28 and C30 fatty acids or ω‐OH fatty acids was much lower in rcn1 than in the wild type. These findings suggest that RCN1/OsABCG5 has a role in the suberization of the hypodermis of rice roots, which contributes to formation of the apoplastic barrier.  相似文献

Based on the characterization of the chemical composition of endodermal and hypodermal cell walls isolated from seven monocotyledonous and three dicotyledonous plant species, a model of the composition of apoplastic barriers in roots is proposed. Depending on the species, endodermal and hypodermal cell walls of roots contained varying amounts of the biopolymers suberin, lignin, cell wall proteins, and carbohydrates. Although analysis of the chemical composition of these apoplastic barriers of roots is now possible, it is pointed out that conclusions from these data concerning the functional properties of these cell walls can not easily be drawn. However, in analogy to suberized periderms it is argued that the suberin should play a role in establishing an apoplastic transport barrier in roots, albeit not a perfect barrier. Furthermore, due to the combined occurrence of suberin, lignin and cell wall proteins it is argued that endodermal and hypodermal cell walls also have an important function as barriers towards pathogens. Finally, it is pointed out that additional experimental approaches combining the investigation of transport properties and of the chemical composition of apoplastic transport barriers in roots are necessary before the function of endodermal and hypodermal cell walls in roots can be fully understood.  相似文献

The structure and development of endodermal Casparian strips in Pinus bungeana needles and roots were studied by scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. Primary pit fields (PFs) frequently occurred in radial walls of Casparian strips isolated from needles, whereas PFs were never detected in Casparian strips from roots. Formation of Casparian strips in needles as well as roots started at the outer parts of the radial walls and they finally occupied the entire radial walls of the endodermis. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of Casparian strips isolated from roots revealed significant absorption bands characteristic for suberin. However, in Casparian strips of needles, evidence for suberin was rarely detected by FTIR spectroscopy. The apoplastic permeability of Casparian strips in needles and roots was probed by the apoplastic tracers calcofluor and berberine. Casparian strips in roots efficiently blocked the apoplastic transport (AT) of calcofluor and berberine. Casparian strips in needles blocked the AT of calcofluor, but diffusion of berberine was not inhibited and berberine thiocyanate crystals were detectable in the vascular tissue of the needles. From the data presented, it must be concluded that Casparian strips in needles, which are characterized by the absence of suberin, are more solute permeable compared with Casparian strips in roots.  相似文献

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) is a versatile and important agronomic crop grown worldwide. Each year millions of dollars of potential yield revenues are lost due to a root rot disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae (Kaufmann & Gerdemann). Since the root is the primary site of infection by this organism, we undertook an examination of the physicochemical barriers in soybean root, namely, the suberized walls of the epidermis and endodermis, to establish whether or not preformed suberin (i.e. naturally present in noninfected plants) could have a role in partial resistance to P. sojae. Herein we describe the anatomical distribution and chemical composition of soybean root suberin as well as its relationship to partial resistance to P. sojae. Soybean roots contain a state I endodermis (Casparian bands only) within the first 80 mm of the root tip, and a state II endodermis (Casparian bands and some cells with suberin lamellae) in more proximal regions. A state III endodermis (with thick, cellulosic, tertiary walls) was not present within the 200-mm-long roots examined. An exodermis was also absent, but some walls of the epidermal and neighboring cortical cells were suberized. Chemically, soybean root suberin resembles a typical suberin, and consists of waxes, fatty acids, omega-hydroxy acids, alpha,omega-diacids, primary alcohols, and guaiacyl- and syringyl-substituted phenolics. Total suberin analysis of isolated soybean epidermis/outer cortex and endodermis tissues demonstrated (1) significantly higher amounts in the endodermis compared to the epidermis/outer cortex, (2) increased amounts in the endodermis as the root matured from state I to state II, (3) increased amounts in the epidermis/outer cortex along the axis of the root, and (4) significantly higher amounts in tissues isolated from a cultivar ('Conrad') with a high degree of partial resistance to P. sojae compared with a susceptible line (OX760-6). This latter correlation was extended by an analysis of nine independent and 32 recombinant inbred lines (derived from a 'Conrad' x OX760-6 cross) ranging in partial resistance to P. sojae: Strong negative correlations (-0.89 and -0.72, respectively) were observed between the amount of the aliphatic component of root suberin and plant mortality in P. sojae-infested fields.  相似文献

The formation of suberized and lignified barriers in the exodermis is suggested to be part of a suite of adaptations to flooded or waterlogged conditions, adjusting transport of solutes and gases in and out of roots. In this study, the composition of apoplasmic barriers in hypodermal cell walls and oxygen profiles in roots and the surrounding medium of four Amazon tree species that are subjected to long-term flooding at their habitat was analyzed. In hypodermal cell walls of the deciduous tree Crateva benthami, suberization is very weak and dominated by monoacids, 2-hydroxy acids, and omega-hydroxycarboxylic acids. This species does not show any morphological adaptations to flooding and overcomes the aquatic period in a dormant state. Hypodermal cells of Tabernaemontana juruana, a tree which is able to maintain its leaf system during the aquatic phase, are characterized by extensively suberized walls, incrusted mainly by the unsaturated C(18) omega-hydroxycarboxylic acid and the alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid analogon, known as typical suberin markers. Two other evergreen species, Laetia corymbulosa and Salix martiana, contained 3- to 4-fold less aliphatic suberin in the exodermis, but more than 85% of the aromatic moiety of suberin are composed of para-hydroxybenzoic acid, suggesting a function of suberin in pathogen defense. No major differences in the lignin content among the species were observed. Determination of oxygen distribution in the roots and rhizosphere of the four species revealed that radial loss of oxygen can be effectively restricted by the formation of suberized barriers but not by lignification of exodermal cell walls.  相似文献

Summary Cell walls of mature epidermal and hypodermal cells are autofluorescent when viewed under ultraviolet or blue light. This autofluorescence develops in a centripetal direction, beginning in the outer tangential wall of the epidermis and ending in the inner tangential wall of the hypodermis. The intercellular regions between the epidermis and hypodermis and between the hypodermis and the cortex are dense and also become autofluorescent. Although the walls of the hypodermis provide a barrier to the movement of a high molecular weight fluorescent dye, the walls of the epidermis are permeable. Histochemical studies indicate that lipids and polyphenolics are components of the epidermal and hypodermal cell walls. Both layers are resistant to the wall-degrading enzyme Driselase and to concentrated sulphuric acid, whereas the cortex is digested with both treatments. Observations with the transmission electron microscope show that a complex suberin lamella encases each hypodermal cell but is absent from the epidermis. However, the outer tangential wall and radial walls of the epidermal cells are complex in that layers of different densities are present. Some of these layers, as well as the intercellular regions and the radial walls of the hypodermal cells, bind ferric ions when tissue is fixed in ferric chloride-glutaraldehyde indicating the presence of poly-phenolics in these regions. An extracellular layer covering the outer tangential wall of the epidermis stained positively with a number of histochemical tests for polyphenolics.  相似文献

The composition of the aliphatic components of suberin in the stele and cortex of young corn (Zea mays L.) roots was determined by combined gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry of the LiAlD4 depolymerization products. ω-Hydroxy acids were shown to be the major class of the aliphatic components of both the hypodermal (35%) and endodermal (28%) polymeric materials with the dominant chain length being C24 in the former and C16 in the latter. Nitrobenzene oxidation of the roots generated p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and vanillin with much less syringaldehyde. Electron microscopic examination of the hypodermal and endodermal cell walls from roots of corn plants grown in a Mg2+ -deficient (0.03 millimolar) nutrient solution showed that these walls were more heavily suberized than the analogous walls of roots from plants grown in normal (2 millimolar) Mg2+ levels. Analysis of the LiAlD4 depolymerization products of the suberin polymers from these roots showed that the roots grown in low Mg2+ had 3.5 times as much aliphatic suberin monomers on a weight basis as the roots from plants grown in nutrient with normal Mg2+ levels. Roots from plants grown in Mg2+ -deficient nutrient solution released 3.8 times the amount of aromatic aldehydes upon nitrobenzene oxidation as that released from normal roots. As the degree of Mg2+ deficiency of the nutrient solution was increased, there was an increase in the aliphatic and aromatic components characteristic of suberin. Thus, both ultrastructural and chemical evidence strongly suggested that Mg2+ deficiency resulted in increased suberization of the cell walls of both hypodermis and endodermis of Zea mays roots. The roots from Mg2+ -deficient plants also had a higher amount of peroxidase activity when compared to control roots.  相似文献

Abstract The development of suberin lamellae in the hypodermis of Zea mays cv. LG 11 was observed by electron microscopy and the presence of suberin inferred from autoliuorescence and by Sudan black B staining in nodal (adventitious) and primary (seminal) root axes. Suberin lamellae were evident at a distance of 30–50 mm from the tip of roots growing at 20°C and became more prominent with distance from the tip. Both oxygen deficiency and growth at 13°C produced shorter roots in which the hypodermis was suberized closer to the root tip. There were no suberin lamellae in epidermal cells or cortical collenchyma adjacent to the hypodermis. Plasmodesmata were not occluded by the suberin lamellae: there were twice as many of them in the inner tangential hypodermal wall (1,14 μn?2) as in the junction between the epidermis and hypodermis (0.54 μm?2). Water uptake by seminal axes (measured by micropotometry) was greater at distances more than 100 mm from the root lip than in the apical zone where the hypodermis was unsuberized. In the more mature zones of roots grown at 13°C rates of water uptake were greater than in roots grown at 20°C even though hypodermal suberization was more marked. Sleeves of epidermal/hypodermal cells (plus some accessory collenchyma) were isolated from the basal 60 mm of nodal axes by enzymatic digestion (drisclase). The roots were either kept totally immersed in culture solution or had the basal 50 mm exposed to moist air above the solution surface. In both treatments the permeabilities to tritiated water and 86Rb were low (circa 10?5mms?1) in sleeves isolated from the extreme base. In roots grown totally immersed, however, the permeability of sleeves increased 10 to 50-fold over a distance of 40 mm. In roots exposed to moist air the permeability remained at a low level until the point where the root entered the culture solution and then increased rapidly (> 50-fold in a distance of 8 mm). Growth of roots in oxygen depleted (5% O2) solutions promoted the development of extensive cortical aerenchymas. These developments were not associated with any reduction in permeability of sleeves isolated from the basal 40 mm of the axis. It was concluded that the presence of suberin lamellae in hypodermal walls does not necessarily indicate low permeability of cells or tissues to water or solutes. The properties of the walls (lamellae?) can be greatly changed by exposure to moist air, perhaps due to increased oxygen availability.  相似文献

Summary We investigated the histochemistry and ultrastructure of the cell walls of mestome sheaths and parenchymatous bundle sheaths of ten species of grasses. The species surveyed included representatives from all the major photosynthetic types: C3-Bromus tectorum, Phalaris arundinacea; C4/NAD-ME-Eragrostis cilianensis, Panicum capillare; C4/NAD-ME/PCK-Bouteloua curtipendula; C4/PCK-Chloris gayana, Sporobolus elongatus; C4/NADP-ME-Echinochloa crus-galli, Setaria glauca, Themeda triandra. All vein orders (designated here as major, minor and transverse) from mature leaves of each species were tested histochemically for lipids and phenols, and the majority of species were also examined with the electron microscope. A suberized lamella was detected ultrastructurally in at least some walls of major vein bundle sheath cells of all species examined. These lamellae were also present in some cells associated with the minor veins of the C3 species and in the minor and transverse veins of the C4/NADP-ME species. Histochemical tests for lipids and phenols consistently failed to differentiate this layer. Based on these tests, none of the vein orders in any species showed evidence of a Casparian band. In all suberized bundle sheaths, the compound middle lamella between cells with suberin lamellae is modified by the presence of phenols. These did not, however, confer resistance to acid digestion to the cell layer, in contrast to cell layers with Casparian bands. Therefore, although the mestome sheath has some features in common with the root endodermis (i.e. cells with a suberized lamella and thick, cellulosic walls which may be further modified), we could find no substantive anatomical or ultrastructural evidence for the presence of a Casparian band in any of the grass leaves investigated. The significance of these observations is discussed in the context of apoplastic permeability of these walls.  相似文献

Abstract: Five distinct ectomycorrhizal morphotypes were recognized on root systems of Fagus grandifolia collected in a maple-beech woodlot. Three morphotypes showed extensive root branching whereas two had limited root branching. One morphotype, a bright orange, smooth type, was studied in detail anatomically. A compact mantle with few emanating extraradical hyphae covered the root apex of each mycorrhizal lateral. A Hartig net extended around epidermal and hypodermal cells. Roots were mostly diarch and a single-layered endodermis and a biseriate hypodermis with the inner hypodermis having suberized walls were present in all specimens examined. The mantle, and to a lesser extent the Hartig net, stored lipids, polysaccharides and proteins.  相似文献

The exodermis: a variable apoplastic barrier.   总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29  
The exodermis (hypodermis with Casparian bands) of plant roots represents a barrier of variable resistance to the radial flow of both water and solutes and may contribute substantially to the overall resistance. The variability is a result largely of changes in structure and anatomy of developing roots. The extent and rate at which apoplastic exodermal barriers (Casparian bands and suberin lamellae) are laid down in radial transverse and tangential walls depends on the response to conditions in a given habitat such as drought, anoxia, salinity, heavy metal or nutrient stresses. As Casparian bands and suberin lamellae form in the exodermis, the permeability to water and solutes is differentially reduced. Apoplastic barriers do not function in an all-or-none fashion. Rather, they exhibit a selectivity pattern which is useful for the plant and provides an adaptive mechanism under given circumstances. This is demonstrated for the apoplastic passage of water which appears to have an unusually high mobility, ions, the apoplastic tracer PTS, and the stress hormone ABA. Results of permeation properties of apoplastic barriers are related to their chemical composition. Depending on the growth regime (e.g. stresses applied) barriers contain aliphatic and aromatic suberin and lignin in different amounts and proportion. It is concluded that, by regulating the extent of apoplastic barriers and their chemical composition, plants can effectively regulate the uptake or loss of water and solutes. Compared with the uptake by root membranes (symplastic and transcellular pathways), which is under metabolic control, this appears to be an additional or compensatory strategy of plants to acquire water and solutes.  相似文献

A survey of chemical modifications in the cells of the epidermis,hypodermis, cortical parenchyma and endodermis in roots of 27plant species was performed. Cortical parenchyma walls weregenerally free of modifying substances whereas the walls ofthe epidermis, hypodermis and endodermis were usually modifiedby the presence of lipids, phenols, suberin or lignin. In mostcases, wall-modifying components could be detected within 5mm of the root apex. lipids, phenols, suberin, lignin, ferulic acid, root, epidermis, hypodermis, cortex, endodermis, cell wall  相似文献

First-order branch roots of field-grown Zea mays L. were examined by optical and electron microscopy. They were small-scale versions of nodal roots except for the usual retention of a live epidermis throughout their length. The Casparian strips and suberized lamellae of hypodermis and endodermis developed closer to the root tip than reported for main roots (in the zone 0.5 to 5.5 cm from the tip for the hypodermis, and 0.5 to 4 cm for the endodermis), in branches retaining an apical meristem. The hydrophobic deposits were in place to the distal ends of determinate branches. All hydrophobic deposits were fully formed before the late metaxylem elements were mature. Gaps in the suberized lamellae of both hypodermis and endodermis may permit apoplastic diffusion of solutes through these layers. Pit frequency in the outer tangential walls of the hypodermis and endodermis was 0.3 per 100 μm2, and 0.6 to 0.7 per 100 μm2, respectively, in both branch and main roots. Numbers of plasmodesmata per pit in the branches were 60 and 30 in the hypodermis and endodermis, respectively. Water fluxes from published data were used to calculated the possible flux through plasmodesmata on a symplastic path. Values up to 0.2 pl h?1 for the hypodermis and twice this for the endodermis were obtained.  相似文献

Development of the Hypodermal Casparian Band in Corn and Onion Roots   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
A hypodermal Casparian band develops 40–50 mm from theroot tip in corn and 30–40 mm from the root tip in onion.In both plants, the endodermal Casparian band matures about20 mm closer to the root tip than the hypodermal Casparian band.Using the apoplastic fluorescent dye, Calcofluor white M2R (CFW),a permeability barrier could be distinguished in the radialwalls of the hypodermis 40–50 mm from the root tip incorn and onion. In progressively younger regions of the roots,CFW was first excluded from the outer tangential hypodermalwalls and the inner tangential epidermal walls, then the radialepidermal walls so that in very young regions only the outertangential epidermal walls were permeated. In contrast to CFW,the symplastic fluorescent dye, uranin, was translocated fromthe epidermis into the stele at all distances tested (5.0–50mm from the root tips). CFW and uranin at a concentration of0.01% proved nontoxic to corn and onion roots on the basis ofroot growth tests. Key words: Zea mays, Casparian band, Hypodermis, Allium cepa  相似文献
