Abstract Roots are composed of concentric tissue layers that enable selective uptake of nutrients, attributed to the vascular-embracing endodermis. In mature root regions, endodermal cells coat their cell surface in a hydrophobic polymer termed suberin, which blocks solute transport across the plasma membrane. Intriguingly, specific cells adjacent to the water-conducting xylem remain unsuberized.
