Plant cell walls consist of carbohydrate, protein, and aromatic compounds and are essential
to the proper growth and development of plants. The carbohydrate components make up∼ …

The plant cell wall is composed of polysaccharides and proteins. In addition, some cells
have walls impregnated with lignin. In all cases, the polysaccharides constitute the major …

Pectin is structurally and functionally the most complex polysaccharide in plant cell walls.
Pectin has functions in plant growth, morphology, development, and plant defense and also …

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 …

Pectin consists of a group of acidic polysaccharides that constitute a large part of the cell
wall of plants. The pectic polysaccharides have a complex structure but can generally be …

Pectin is a major component of primary cell walls of all land plants and encompasses a
range of galacturonic acid-rich polysaccharides. Three major pectic polysaccharides …

Pectins are a major component of the plant cell wall and comprise one of the two major
coextensive networks in which cellulose microfibrils are embedded (Carpita and Gibeaut …

The application of molecular modelling methods to the realistic description of cell wall
polysaccharides is described. In a first section, the basic principles and tools are presented; …

Pectin substances are complex mixtures of polysaccharides that make up about one third of
the cell-wall dry substance of dicotyledonous and some monocoty-ledonous plants (Hoff and …

Pectin is a family of complex polysaccharides present in all plant primary cell walls. The
complicated structure of the pectic polysaccharides, and the retention by plants of the large …
