Rhizosheath formation depends on mucilage concentration and water content
Plant and Soil, 2023 Aims Root exudates contain polymers that form crosslinks and can create a jelly like substance known as mucilage, which adheres to soil and thus promotes the formation of rhizosheaths, i.e. soil that remains attached to the roots after gentle shaking. We

Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize From Contrasting Climatic Regions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Mucilage, a gelatinous substance comprising mostly polysaccharides, is exuded by maize nodal and underground root tips. Although mucilage provides several benefits for rhizosphere functions, studies on the variation in mucilage amounts and its ...

“Sticky invasion” – the physical properties of Plantago lanceolata L. seed mucilage
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 The mucilage envelope of seeds has various functions including the provision of different ways for the dispersal of diaspores. Chemical composition and water content of the mucilage yield particular adhesive and frictional properties in the envelope that
