The apical zone of root is the main part of calcium absorption. For calcium move from root surface to xylem, it needs to traverse
endodermal cells and xylem parenchyma cells. There are three status that impact on the pathway of calcium movement to the xylem
according to Casparian band development (White 2001). In State I, the Casparian band develops as a modification of the anticlinal
walls between endodermal cells. In this state, calcium movement to the xylem is limited in the apoplast (cell wall), and forced to enter
the root symplast through Ca2+ channels and pumped into the xylem apoplast by Ca2+-ATPase. In State II, layers of suberin polymers
are deposited over the entire inner surface of the walls surrounding endodermal cells and lateral roots often emerge. In State III, the
endodermal cell is buried under the deposits of tertiary cell walls. The deposition of suberin isolates the endodermal cell protoplast
from the apoplast, thus retarding Ca2+ influx to endodermal cells and thereby calcium transport to the xylem. In the cell of root tip,
Casparian band has not developed yet, and calcium is allowed to traverse the endodermis via the apoplastic pathway. When calcium
gets to the stelar apoplast, it can enter xylem vessel through Ca2+ channels in the accessible plasma membrane of the xylem parenchyma

摘要:近年来,钙素在植物体内的吸收和运输研 能需要 Ca 2+ -ATP 酶驱动;还有一些 Ca 2+ 由内皮层
