Seed Germination Performance and Seed Coat Mucilage Production of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
… basilicum L.) seeds produce a thick layer of mucilage around the pericarp within minutes after hydration. Mucilage is most prevalent among plant species adapted to surviving in arid sandy soils, though its significance in determining ecological fitness is unclear. The mucilage produced by …

Unlocking the genetic potential of the root system, rhizosheath mucilage and microbiome of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
An increasing global population, projections of climates that will challenge sufficient crop production, and a detrimental use of fertiliser and pesticides mean that we need to increase the productivity of land currently under cultivation with minimal impact on the environment. Wheat is the second …

Experimental and numerical analysis of behaviour of the myxospermous seeds of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. (shepherd’s purse) in soil
… the ability of a seed (or seed pod) to produce mucilage. The myxospermous trait is prevalent among those plant species adapted to surviving in arid sandy soils. The seed mucilage is composed of polysaccharides, which are capable of absorbing large volumes of water and it has been shown to be of …

Understanding seed-soil adhesion by myxospermous seeds and their biophysical function in agroecosystems
… agricultural soils is rarely addressed. Mucilage released by myxospermous seeds can modify the soil physical, hydraulic and microbial environment surrounding the seed. The principle biophysical mechanisms underlying the redistribution of weed seeds in eroded soils are unknown. It is …

Exploiting natural variation in Plantago seed composition for food and human health applications
… for small-scale rapid fractionation of seed mucilage (Cowley et al. 2020, Plant Methods, 16:20). Most published seed mucilage extraction techniques while simple and robust, were recognised early in my candidature to be less than ideal for screening natural variants.. Previously published …

Design of a functional mayonnaise enriched with Omega-3 from Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia Huayllabambana) Oil and Chia (Salvia Hispanica L.) mucilage N.I. ONE †
… seeds (Plukenetia huayllabambana) and chia seed mucilage (Salvia hispanica L.), in response to the growing demand for healthier alternatives to traditional mayonnaise. The research question posed is how the incorporation of chia mucilage can replace egg yolk in the formulation of mayonnaise while …

Characterization of xtcl mutant with reduced cuticular wax accumulation
… seed coat permeability and defective seed mucilage extrusion. Positional cloning of the XTC1 gene resulted in the discovery that it is identical to FATB, an already characterized gene known to encode the fatty acid thioesterase B. The FATB enzyme releases saturated free fatty acids …
