Root mucilage is made of plant-specific polysaccharides or long chains of sugar molecules. [1] [2] This polysaccharide secretion of root exudate forms a gelatinous substance that sticks to the caps of roots. [3] Root mucilage is known to play a role in forming relationships with soil-dwelling life forms.
Provision of a 'diffusion bridge' between the fine root system and soil particles, which allows for a more efficient uptake of water and mineral nutrients by roots in dry soils. Mucigel is composed of mucilage , microbial exopolysaccharides and glomalin proteins .
In the Gambia, West Africa, in 1750, Kunta Kinte is born to Omoro Kinte, a Mandinka warrior, and his wife Binta.He is raised in a Muslim family. [5] [6] When Kunta reaches the age of 15, he and other boys undergo a semi-secretive tribal rite of passage, under the Kintango, which includes wrestling, circumcision, philosophy, war-craft, and hunting skills.
Mucilage is a thick gluey substance produced by nearly all plants and some microorganisms. These microorganisms include protists which use it for their locomotion, with the direction of their movement always opposite to that of the secretion of mucilage. [ 1 ]
The root cap protects the growing tip in plants. [1] It secretes mucilage to ease the movement of the root through soil, [1] and may also be involved in communication with the soil microbiota. [1] The purpose of the root cap is to enable downward growth of the root, with the root cap covering the sensitive tissue in the root. [2]
(A) Root system architecture is concerned with structural features of the root and responds to with environmental stimuli. (B) The rhizosphere produces photosynthetically fixed carbon that exudes into the soil and influences soil physicochemical gradients. (C) Free-living or parasitic nematodes interact with the rhizosphere via signaling ...
Roots is a 2016 American miniseries and a remake of the 1977 miniseries with the same name, based on Alex Haley's 1976 novel, Roots: The Saga of an American Family, which follows an 18th-century Mandinka man who is enslaved and shipped from the Gambia to the Colony of Virginia and his descendants.
Psyllium husk after processing Plantago afra, a member of the plant genus from which psyllium can be derived. Psyllium (/ ˈ s ɪ l i əm /), or ispaghula (/ ˌ ɪ s p ə ˈ ɡ uː l ə /), is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage.
