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.
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 ]
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. [2]
There may be other ways brace root anatomy and architecture influence root function, including how and when these features develop, thus, a clear understanding of brace root development is required to fully grasp the function of these specialized roots. This understanding will prove vital in maximizing brace root function through selective ...
Abelmoschus moschatus is an aromatic and species of medicinal plant in the family Malvaceae native to Asia and Australia. [2] It has many common names, including Abelmosk, ambrette, annual hibiscus, Bamia Moschata, Galu Gasturi, muskdana, musk mallow, [2] musk okra, [2] ornamental okra, rose mallow, tropical jewel hibiscus, [2] and Yorka okra.
Krabèe janèng, Acehnese cuisine made from Dioscorea hispida Several peoples use the tuber as food. The tuber is toxic when fresh due to the presence of saponins and calcium oxalate raphides, so it must be processed prior to consumption, typically by finely slicing into thin strips, placing in a sack or net, and leaving in a stream for a few days until the toxins have leached out.
A true root system consists of a primary root and secondary roots (or lateral roots). the diffuse root system: the primary root is not dominant; the whole root system is fibrous and branches in all directions. Most common in monocots. The main function of the fibrous root is to anchor the plant.
