Root mucilage is a part of a wider secrete from plant roots known as root exudate. Plant roots secrete a variety of organic molecules into the surrounding soil, such as proteins, enzymes, DNA, sugars and amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. [3] [4] This collective secretion is known as root exudate.
The rhizosphere is the thin area of soil immediately surrounding the root system. It is a densely populated area in which the roots compete with invading root systems of neighboring plant species for space, water, and mineral nutrients as well as form positive and negative relationships with soil-borne microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects.
Galium aparine is known by a variety of common names in English. They include ' 'sweetheart', 'hitchhikers, cleavers, [2] clivers, bedstraw, (small) goosegrass (not to be confused with other plants known as goosegrass), [2] catchweed, [2] stickyweed, sticky bob, [3] stickybud, stickyback, sticky molly, robin-run-the-hedge, sticky willy, [2] [4] sticky willow, stickyjack, stickeljack, grip ...
Plant seeds exudate a variety of molecules into the spermosphere, [13] and roots exudate into the rhizosphere; these exudates include acids, sugars, polysaccharides and ectoenzymes, and collectively account for 40% of root carbon. [14] Exudation of these compounds has various benefits to the plant and to the microorganisms of the rhizosphere ...
Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem and phloem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and also a number of fungi. Ancient Latin gutta means "a drop of fluid", whence modern botany formed the word guttation to designate that a plant exudes drops of fluid onto the outer surface of the plant, when the ...
A sundew with a leaf bent around a fly trapped by mucilage. 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.

Hackelia virginiana, a biennial plant, is commonly known as beggar's lice, [2] [3] sticktight or stickseed. [3] However, the common names beggar's lice and stick-tight are also used for very different plants, such as Desmodium species that are also known as "tick-trefoil".
Low-phosphorus concentrations in the soil increase hyphal growth and branching as well as induce plant exudation of compounds that control hyphal branching intensity. [22] [24] The branching of AM fungal hyphae grown in phosphorus media of 1 mM is significantly reduced, but the length of the germ tube and total hyphal growth were not affected.
