This study aimed at analyzing the proportion of root and seed mucilage components and their functions in the rhizosphere. In total, polysaccharides (78.4%), proteins (7.3%), minerals (5.6%), and lipids (3.1%) constitute 94.3% of the mucilage composition. Mucilage polysaccharides are an energy source for microorganisms, absorb water, exchange cations, and adhere to solid surfaces in the rhizosphere. Mucilage proteins disassemble the mucilage polysaccharide for microbial utilization, respond to abiotic and biotic stresses, and mobilize nutrients in the rhizosphere. Mucilage minerals include monovalent and divalent cations capable of being exchanged for other cations in the rhizosphere. Mucilage lipids improve plant water uptake and desorb adsorbed phosphorus on soil particles in the rhizosphere. These important functions can support plant health and agricultural and environmental sustainability. Plant breeders can benefit from the advantages of a specific mucilage component and enhance its proportion in the mucilage of given plant species.

这项研究旨在分析根和种子黏液成分的比例及其在根际中的功能。多糖（78.4％），蛋白质（7.3％），矿物质（5.6％）和脂质（3.1％）总共占粘液成分的94.3％。黏液多糖是微生物的能源，可吸收水，交换阳离子并附着在根际的固体表面上。黏液蛋白分解黏液多糖以供微生物利用，应对非生物和生物胁迫，并动员根际中的养分。黏液矿物包括能够与根际中的其他阳离子交换的一价和二价阳离子。黏液脂质改善植物对水分的吸收，并解吸根际土壤颗粒上吸附的磷。这些重要功能可以支持植物健康以及农业和环境的可持续性。植物育种者可以受益于特定粘液成分的优势，并提高其在给定植物物种的粘液中的比例。
