A wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect plant's growth and production.
Under stress, one of the main responses of plants is the modulation of exudates excreted in …

Plant xyloglucan: xyloglucosyl transferases, known as xyloglucan endo-transglycosylases
(XETs) are the key players that underlie plant cell wall dynamics and mechanics. These …

Root border cells (BCs) and their associated secretions form a protective structure termed
the root extracellular trap (RET) that plays a major role in root interactions with soil borne …

Root cap–derived cells and mucilage provide the first line of defense of the plant against soil
microbial pathogens. These cells form a mucilaginous root extracellular trap (RET), which …

The aim of this study was to determine the applicability of commonly used dyes (CWS and
CFB) to stain different types of β-glucans in water and selected, most popular, dairy products …

Root border cells (RBCs) and their mucilage are considered to play an important role in
protecting root tip from aluminum (Al) toxicity, but their interactions with silicon (Si) under Al …

The root cap releases cells that produce massive amounts of mucilage containing
polysaccharides, proteoglycans, extracellular DNA (exDNA) and a variety of antimicrobial …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biopolymer metabolized by Gram-negative bacteria
strains in carbon-and nitrogen-rich media. Due to its natural purity, biodegradability …

Rhizosphere microbiome significantly influences plant growth and productivity. Legume
crops such as pea have often been used as a rotation crop along with rice cultivation in long …

Root exudates and rhizosheaths of attached soil are important features of growing roots. To
elucidate factors involved in rhizosheath formation, wild-type (WT) barley (Hordeum vulgare …
