In the exodermis of sunflower, aliphatic suberin is more abundant compared to maize roots grown in aeroponics. |
For thicker roots, such as those of maize, sorghum or tea, this procedure could be used for visualizing the exodermis in a longitudinal view. |
To obtain roots with an exodermis, seedlings were grown in a mist culture using the same nutrient solution. |
In the endodermis and exodermis of roots, the apoplastic flow component can be modified by the existence of apoplastic barriers. |
These layers of thick-walled cells constitute the exodermis. |
After switching to UV illumination, a clear image of the fluorescent exodermis allowed observation and measurement of its component cells. |
