Galactomannans and other cell wall storage polysaccharides in seeds
Michael J. Gidley,J. S. G. Reid +1 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and properties of a novel beta-galactosidase or exo-(1-->4)-beta-D-galactanase from the cotyledons of germinated Lupinus angustifolius L. seeds.
M. S. Buckeridge,J. S. G. Reid +1 more
TL;DR: The exo-galactanase is clearly a key enzyme in galactan mobilisation and may be the sole activity involved in depolymerising the dominant (1 → 4)-β-Galactan component of the cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of mannose/galactose ratio during galactomannan formation in developing legume seeds.
TL;DR: The endosperm α-galactosidase activity in Senna was capable, in vitro, of removing galactose from guar galactomannan without prior depolymerisation of the molecule, indicating a cause-and-effect relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new family of oligosaccharides from the xyloglucan of Hymenaea courbaril L. (Leguminosae) cotyledons
Marcos Silveira Buckeridge,H.J. Crombie,C.J.M. Mendes,J. S. G. Reid,Michael J. Gidley,C.C.J. Vieira +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that this polymer is less interactive with iodine when compared with T. indica and C. langsdorffii xyloglucans, suggesting that changes in conformation may occur due to the presence of XXXXG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tamarind seed polysaccharide: preparation, characterisation and solution properties of carboxylated, sulphated and alkylaminated derivatives
Peter Lang,Giancarlo Masci,Mariella Dentini,Vittorio Crescenzi,David R. Cooke,Michael J. Gidley,Cristina Fanutti,J. S. G. Reid +7 more
TL;DR: A range of derivatives of tamarind seed polysaccharide has been prepared, characterised and selected solution properties examined as discussed by the authors, and the nature and extent of substitution have been characterised by potentiometric titration, infrared and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
