Homogalacturonan (HG) is the most abundant pectin subtype in plant cell walls. Although it
is a linear homopolymer, its modification states allow for complex molecular encoding. HG …

The advent of user-friendly instruments for measuring force/deflection curves of plant
surfaces at high spatial resolution has resulted in a recent outpouring of reports of the …
