TL;DR: The methods used for isolating and characterizing the noncellulosic polysaccharides of the primary walls of suspension-cultured sycamore cells are described, which are applicable to the study of other types of cell walls.

TL;DR: All glycosyl residues (except the residue at the reducing end of an oligosaccharide, which is called a glycose residue) are glycosidically linked at C-l and this fact is assumed in the notation used, and, thus, C-\ is not mentioned.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which supports the view that accumulation of phytoalexins at the site of attempted infection in plants is supported and a hypothesis is presented that suggests that all of the abiotic and some of the biotic elicitors stimulate phy toalexin accumulation by causing the release of an endogenous elicitor from the cell walls of plants.

TL;DR: The demonstration that RG-II exists in primary walls as a dimer that is covalently cross-linked by a borate diester was a major advance in the understanding of the structure and function of this pectic polysaccharide.
