Casparian strips (CS), the main extracellular diffusion barrier in plant roots, are precisely localized cell wall lignin-impregnations, contrasting animal tight-junctions. The CS membrane domain (CSD) proteins 1-5 (CASP1-5) define and accumulate at the CS associated membrane domains displaying matri...
