Fig. 1From: Importance of suberin biopolymer in plant function, contributions to soil organic carbon and in the production of bio-derived energy and materialsGraphical representation of the significance of suberin in plant performance (plant function context), belowground C inputs (ecosystem and biogeochemistry context) and valorization of C in biomass for bio-derived energy and materials (economic context). Greater throughput and accuracy in suberin analytical technologies and a greater understanding of molecular controls of suberin biosynthesis pathways are needed to enable informed and sustainable crop improvement strategies and realize a circular carbon-neutral bioeconomyBack to article page
