| The root cap covers the root tip and secrets mucilage which facilitates the movement of the growing roots in the soil. |
| A similar pattern of schizogenous mucilage has also been reported for Hibiscus schizopetalus. |
| This is probably owing principally to the mucilage contained in the bran, which runs into the acetous fermentation sooner than starch. |
| The mucilage sap of narcissi can adversely affect other flowers by clogging their water-uptake channels. |
| They say that things are on the way out when you produce volumes of clear mucilage. |
| Sassafras leaves contain not only sassafras flavour but also a gummy mucilage. |
