Mucilage Problem in the Semi-Enclosed Seas: Recent Outbreak in the Sea of Marmara
International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2021 Mucilage is an exopolymeric organic substance that occurs in the marine environment due to the overgrowth of a type of sea algae. Extreme blooms of algae are often triggered by rising seawater temperatures and human-induced pressures such as domestic and

A small-scale fractionation pipeline for rapid analysis of seed mucilage characteristics
Plant Methods, 2020 Background Myxospermy is a process by which the external surfaces of seeds of many plant species produce mucilage—a polysaccharide-rich gel with numerous fundamental research and industrial applications.

The potential of jackfruit starch for use as suspending agent and emulsifying agent [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006 Due to the physicochemical properties of jackfruit (JK) seed starch, it is interesting to use jackfruit mucilage for cosmetic application. The aim of this study was to investigate the physical properties and the effectiveness of JK mucilage at the range ...

Root mucilage nitrogen for rhizosphere microorganisms under drought
Biology and Fertility of SoilsNitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient for the growth and activity of rhizosphere microorganisms, particularly during drought conditions. Plant root-secreted mucilage contains N that could potentially nourish rhizosphere microbial communities. However, there

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The proposed mechanism of action for the CDK12/13 inhibitor and cyclin K degrader, CT7439. CDK12/13 inhibition interrupts transcription elongation, leading to increased DNA damage that results in cell death. This agent is a potentially novel treatment option for patients with colorectal cancer. Created in BioRender. Cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) 12 and

Seed mucilage in temperate grassland species is unrelated to moisture requirements
Plant-Environment InteractionsMyxospermy, the release of seed mucilage upon hydration, plays multiple roles in seed biology. Here, we explore whether seed mucilage occurs in a suite of temperate grassland species to test if the prevalence of species producing seed mucilage is ...
