Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation ABCG1 was identified as responsive to Pep-13.
- Observation ABCG1 expression was found in roots, tuber periderm and wounded leaves.
- Intervention effect ABCG1-RNAi plants had major root and tuber morphology alterations.
- Intervention effect Tuber periderm and root exodermis showed reduced suberin staining.
- Intervention effect Tuber periderm and root exodermis had disorganized cell layers.
- Intervention effect RNA interference plants had reduced esterified suberin components in tuber periderm.
- Intervention effect RNA interference plants hyperaccumulated putative suberin precursors in tuber periderm.
- Mechanism ABCG1 was interpreted as required for suberin component export.
