Effect of soil drying on mucilage exudation and its water repellency: a new method to collect mucilage

---

Despite the importance of mucilage for soil–plant relations, little is known about the effect of soil
drying on mucilage exudation. We introduce a method to collect mucilage from maize growing in
wet and dry soils. Mucilage was collected from brace roots. The amount of mucilage exuded did
not change with soil water content and transpiration rate. Mucilage exuded in dry soils had a
higher degree of hydrophobicity, suggesting that the wetting properties of mucilage change in
response to soil drying.

Key words: root mucilage / contact angle / maize / brace root / rhizosphere / soil water content
