Experimental and numerical analysis of behaviour of the myxospermous seeds of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik. (shepherd’s purse) in soil
… is a term that describes 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 …

Understanding seed-soil adhesion by myxospermous seeds and their biophysical function in agroecosystems
Seedbanks provide many ecosystem services that support wildlife and regulate soil function. The fate of arable seeds is vital in shaping the aboveground composition of plant communities in agroecosystems. Understanding seed fate informs seedbank dynamics with multi-species interactions, as well as …

Characterization of xtcl mutant with reduced cuticular wax accumulation
… extent. Compositional analyses of leaf and seed fatty acids demonstrated that saturated fatty acid content was decreased by around 55%, and unsaturated fatty acid content was approximately 20% lower in xtcl mutants. A detailed examination of xtcl seeds revealed seed deformities, altered seed …

Exploiting natural variation in Plantago seed composition for food and human health applications
… a method 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 †
… a plant-based mayonnaise (PBM) using Sacha Inchi 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 …

Untersuchungen zur Biosynthese der pflanzlichen Zellwand = [Identification and characterization of genes involved in plant cell wall synthesis]
… of the rhm2 mutant these were restricted to the seed or the seed mucilage, whereas the RNAi plants showed profound changes in the whole plant. In the case of the six-membered GAE family, the gene expressed to the highest level (GAE6) was cloned, expressed heterologously and its function was …

Seed Germination Performance and Seed Coat Mucilage Production of Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
… is a warm season herb usually propagated from seeds. Establishment of basil is difficult as seed germination may be limited, particularly during field seeding at cold soil temperatures. The germination of six cultivars (\'Italian Large Leaf\', \'Italian Large Leaf\' 35X, \'Nufar\', …
