The mechanisms underlying their toxicity are not fully understood. A cultivation experiment was carried out with maize, used as model plant, exposed to sand spiked with phenanthrene (50 or 150 mg kg(-1) dw). Epi-fluorescence microscopic observation of root sections was used to assess suberization of exodermis and endodermis and phenanthrene localization along the primary root length. For 10 days of cultivation, exodermis and endodermis suberization of exposed maize was more extensive. However, after 20 days of exposure, exodermis and endodermis of non-exposed roots were totally suberized, whilst PHE-exposed roots where less suberized. Early extensive suberization may act as barrier against PHE penetration, however longer exposure inhibits root maturation. Phenanthrene patches were located only near suberized exodermis and endodermis, which may therefore act as retention zones, where the hydrophobic phenanthrene accumulates during its radial transport.
