Anchorage by seed mucilage prevents seed dislodgement in high surface flow: a mechanistic investigation
V. S. Pan, C. Girvin, E. F. LoPresti
The paper investigates how seed mucilage affects anchorage and dislodgement resistance in flowing water, finding that mucilage mass significantly increases dislodgement time.
