| Cross sectional diagram of a plant root showing the endodermal cells surrounding the vascular cylinder. The Casparian strip is highlighted illustrating its role in controlling water and nutrient movement. Two pathways are indicated the symplastic pathway allows movement through cells and the apoplastic pathway through cell walls. The Casparian strip acts as a barrier to the apoplastic pathway forcing materials into cells and through the symplastic pathway for selective absorption. This mechanism is crucial for plant nutrient and water regulation. |
