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),
Although an apoplastic pathway (the so-called bypass flow) is implicated in the uptake of Na(+) by rice growing in saline conditions, the point of entry of this flow into roots remains to be elucidated. We investigated the role of lateral roots in bypass flow using the tracer
The effects of several alkaloids on the invertase activities of Ricinus communis, Solanum tuberosum, Oryza sativa and Carica papaya were studied. The following alkaloids: caffeine, berberine, strychnine, morphine, ethyl-narceine and nornicotine, have different inhibitory effects on invertase
