Abstract
Here we describe both non-extraction and solvent-extraction methods for root aliphatic suberin analysis. The non-extraction method is fast as roots are directly depolymerized using acidic transmethylation. However, suberin aliphatic components are isolated together with all the other acyl chains making up the lipids (e.g., membranes) present in roots. For the solvent-extraction method, roots are first delipidated before transmethylation. This method is longer but allows separation of soluble and polymerized root lipids. This protocol is optimized for tissue culture- or soil-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants, but can be used with roots of other plants.

Background
Suberin is an extracellular plant lipid polymer deposited in the cell walls of various tissues such as endodermis, exodermis and periderm of roots. Suberin acts as a barrier controlling water and solute fluxes and restricting pathogen infections (Ranathunge et al., 2011; Andersen et al., 2015; Vishwanath et al., 2015; Barberon et al., 2016). Suberin is a complex heteropolymer made up of aliphatics, phenolics, and glycerol, which is associated with solvent-extractable waxes (Bernards, 2002). In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the suberin polymer is primarily made of ω-hydroxy acids and α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, but it also contains unsubstituted fatty acids and primary fatty alcohols (Domergue et al., 2010; Vishwanath et al., 2013), whereas the associated waxes are in the form of alkyl hydroxycinnamates (AHCs; Kosma et al., 2012; Delude et al., 2016). The non-extraction method described here allows for high-throughput and rapid analysis of suberin composition, which is particularly advantageous when screening large numbers of plant lines (e.g., mutants, overexpressing transgenic lines, or natural variants). A more traditional and accurate solvent extraction method applicable when soluble and polymerized lipids (i.e., suberin polyester) need to be analyzed separately is included for comparison.
