Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize From Contrasting Climatic Regions

Mucilage Polysaccharide Composition and Exudation in Maize From Contrasting Climatic Regions

Mucilage, a gelatinous substance comprising mostly polysaccharides, is exuded by maize nodal and underground root tips. Although mucilage provides several benefits for rhizosphere functions, studies on the variation in mucilage amounts and its polysaccharide composition between genotypes are still l...
