Abstract
Some specific features of the endodermal development and cortical anatomy in Dryas mycorrhizal roots were studied. These features of the endodermis were: 1) the absence of typical suberin lamellae and the presence of dendrites in the secondary cell wall; 2) the direct contact of the Casparian strip with tertiary (polysaccharide) cell wall. The presence of phi-thickenings on the anticlinal walls in the cells of the inner cortical layer (adjacent to the endodermis) was noted. The possible functional roles of these features in Dryas roots are discussed in the paper.
