Immunohystochemical localization of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) in the central and basal root zones of pea plants showed their presence on the periphery of cells mainly located in the phloem. Addition of NaCI (50mM) to the nutrient solution resulted in increased level of LTPs immunostaining in the phloem. The deposition of suberin in endoderma (Casparian bands) with Sudan III was more intensive under salt stress and co-located with enhanced LTP localization. These data confirm the involvement of pea LTPs in the suberin deposition. Salt stress led to the increase in ABA immunostaining in root cells but its localization was not coincident with LTPs. Thus the assumption of the direct ABA influence on increased LTPs in pea root cells under salinity was not confirmed. The role of LTPs in plants is discussed.
