This is the perfect domain name for a scientist studying the rhizosphere – or a seller of latex, resins, or saps, and related products. It is an excellent single word domain name related to science, medicine, and plant derived products, and a highly searched keyword.
An exudate is an exuded substance, defined by Wikipedia as “a fluid emitted by an organism through pores or a wound, a process known as exuding or exudation.”
Plant exudates, particularly root exudates, are studied for their roles in multiple biological processes and interactions between organisms.
Notably, saps, gums, latex, and resin, (and possibly nectars) are types of plant exudates and are among the first items ever bartered. Plant exudates are used in many products and have myriad uses.
Products made from plant latex include natural rubber and chewing gum. Opium is a dried latex.
The use of plant resins has a long history, and they are used in incense and perfume. Frankincense and myrhh are two examples of highly prized plant resins. Balsams and turpentine are also resins. Amber is a greatly fossilized and polymerized resin.
Maple syrup is made from the sap of the sugar maple. The sap of birch trees is used as a source of xylitol.
Though we don’t always think of them by this name, people use plant exudates on a daily basis.
