Abstract
Summary: Transmission electron microscope studies of epidermal cell mucilages of roots of various species show that the nature of mucilage and the boundaries between the cell wall and the soil depend on the age of the epidermal cells concerned and the degree of bacterial lysis experienced.Keywords
