Endodermal suberization

NPFs rule suberization

Nature Plants volume 9, pages 689–690 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Hormone-dependent suberin deposition is a key process in root development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. A recent study demonstrates that long- and short-distance transport of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) via four members of the nitrate and peptide transporter family (NPFs) is crucial for endodermal suberization in roots.
