TL;DR: Pectin or pectic substances are collective names for a group of closely associated polysaccharides present in plant cell walls where they contribute to complex physiological processes like cell growth and cell differentiation and so determine the integrity and rigidity of plant tissue as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A structural characterisation of all major cell wall polysaccharides originating from okra pods is presented, indicating that the HBSS and CHSS fractions contain rhamnogalacturonan type I next to homogalACTuronan, while the latter is more prevailing in CHSS.

TL;DR: Hierarchical clustering of microarray binding profiles from newly produced mAbs, together with the profiles for mAbs with previously defined specificities allowed the rapid assignments of mAb binding to antigen classes.

TL;DR: Apple pectin modified hairy regions were degraded by controlled acid hydrolysis to get more insight in the inter linkage between the various structural elements, and currently used pECTin models were refined.

TL;DR: Immunofluorescence microscopy indicates that the antibodies can be used to detect epitopes in cell walls, and that the four antibodies reveal complex patterns of epitope occurrence that vary between organs and species, and relate both to the probable processing of arabinan structural elements and the differing mechanical properties of cell walls.
