Mapping Pectic-Polysaccharide Epitopes in Cell Walls of Forage Chicory () Leaves.

The cell walls of forage chicory () leaves are known to contain high proportions of pectic polysaccharides. However, little is known about the distribution of pectic polysaacharides among walls of different cell types/tissues and within walls. In this study, immunolabelling with four monoclonal antibodies was used to map the distribution of pectic polysaccharides in the cell walls of the laminae and midribs of these leaves.
