A good analogy is #cork.
Millions of closed cells, bound together by suberin. Press on it, and it won't flow like water. It compresses, absorbs the impact, redistributes the pressure, and quietly returns to its original shape.
Some organizations behave exactly the same way. #CorporateCulture

Very happy to see that SUBER GENE1 (SBG1; At1g52565) is now annotated in TAIR and Aramemnon!
We identified this gene through a GWAS on natural variation in endodermal suberin and had the privilege of naming it.
For those interested, the study can be found here:
