The slime envelope is strongly involved in the proper functioning
of the diaspore at different regulatory levels. It plays an
essential role in dispersal, and creates conditions suitable for
germination (either stimulation or inhibition depending on
environmental cues). By adhesion of the diaspore to the soil, it is
protected from unwanted moves to unfavourable habitats. By
anchoring the seed in substratum, it
regulatesitsorientationandrootpenetration.Finally,theslimeenvelopesuppliesthe
embryo and developing seedling with water and nutrients and defends
them against viral or fungal pathogenic attack. The presence of
slime assures a plant's success in both dispersal of the diaspore
and colonization of new habitats. In general: the slime envelope
allows plants to live, ?y and not die. Acknowledgments I
particularly want to thank my colleague Dr. Edyta Gola (University
of Wroc?aw) for the critical revision of this work. References
