The Casparian strip blocks the apoplast pathway, forcing water into cell cytoplasm and joining the symplast, and it prevents toxic solutes from entering living tissues by requiring water to pass through the selectively permeable CSM.
La banda de Caspary bloquea la vía apoplástica, forzando al agua a entrar en el citoplasma de las células y unirse al simplasto, y previene que solutos potencialmente tóxicos entren en los tejidos vivos al requerir que el agua atraviese la membrana plasmática selectivamente permeable.
