Claim 1functional rolesupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

In roots, the cortex is a key site for stress-responsive modifications.

Claim 2knowledge gapsupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

How cortex modifications coexist, synergize to influence plant fitness, or compensate for each other remains a challenge.

Claim 3mechanistic effectsupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

Cortex modifications enhance stress resilience by regulating two-way fluxes of water, solutes, and nutrients between soil and plant, increasing mechanical strength, or facilitating biotic interactions.

Claim 4regulationsupports2025Source 1DOI PubMed

Distinct cortex specializations are controlled by developmental, positional, and environmental signals.
