  2. Plant root exudates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_root_exudates

    Another example would be long-chain hydroquinone who are transported through the plant via passive exudation. [11] Specifically, these metabolites are released using the simplistic and apoplastic pathways and then finally “through the pores in the tips of root hairs where they bind to soil particles and organic matter”. [11]

  3. Root mucilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mucilage

    This important relationship is known to affect 94% of land plants, [11] and benefits plants by increasing water and nutrient uptake from the soil, particularly phosphorus. In return, the fungi receive food in the form of carbohydrates from the plant in the form of broken-down root mucilage. Without this relationship, many plants would struggle ...

  4. Guttation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttation

    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 ...

    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 ...

  6. Root pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_pressure

    At night in some plants, root pressure causes guttation or exudation of drops of xylem sap from the tips or edges of leaves. Root pressure is studied by removing the shoot of a plant near the soil level. Xylem sap will exude from the cut stem for hours or days due to root pressure. If a pressure gauge is attached to the cut stem, the root ...

  7. Mucilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucilage

    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. [1]

  8. Nod factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nod_factor

    Nod factors (nodulation factors or NF), are signaling molecules produced by soil bacteria known as rhizobia in response to flavonoid exudation from plants under nitrogen limited conditions. Nod factors initiate the establishment of a symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia by inducing nodulation.

  9. Andricus quercuscalicis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andricus_quercuscalicis

    Galls (upper left and right) formed on acorns on the branch of a pedunculate (or English) oak tree by the parthenogenetic generation Andricus quercuscalicis.. The large 2 cm gall growth appears as a mass of green to yellowish-green, ridged, and at first sticky plant tissue on the bud of the oak, that breaks out as the gall between the cup and the acorn.
