Dynamics of pectic homogalacturonan in cellular morphogenesis and adhesion, wall integrity sensing and plant development
J Du, CT Anderson, C Xiao - Nature Plants, 2022 - nature.com
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 …
