Spatial Distribution of Mucilage in the Rhizosphere Measured With Infrared Spectroscopy

Spatial Distribution of Mucilage in the Rhizosphere Measured With Infrared Spectroscopy

Mucilage is receiving increasing attention because of its putative effects on plant growth, but so far no method is available to measure its spatial distribution in the rhizosphere. We tested whether the C-H signal related to mucilage fatty acids is detectable by infrared spectroscopy and if this me...
