Past workers have suggested pectic enzyme involvement in the invasion of legumes by Rhizobium. However, no role for pectic acid, pectin, or methyl cellulose depolymerase enzymes in the invasion of R. japonicum was suggested by the current study. Seedling inoculation with infective bacteria did not result in increased enzyme activity. Rhizobium japonicum cell-free culture extracts and 3-indoleacetic acid did not affect the activation, induction, or binding of these enzymes.

Deepening the Role of Pectin in the Tissue Assembly Process During Tomato Grafting.
Plants (Basel)

Cell walls play essential roles in cell recognition, tissue adhesion, and wound response. In particular, pectins as cell-adhesive agents are expected to play a key role in the early stages of grafting. To test this premise, this study focused on examining the dynamics of the accumulation and degree of methyl-esterification of pectic polysaccharides at the graft junctions using tomato autografts as an experimental model.

Many phytopathogens' gene products that contribute to plant-pathogen interactions remain unexplored. In one of the most harmful phytopathogenic bacterium (), phosphonate-related genes have been previously shown to be among the most upregulated following host plant colonization. However, phosphonates, compounds characterized by a carbon-phosphorus bond in their composition, have not been described in species and other phytopathogenic bacteria, with the exception of and .

Carrot rhamnogalacturonan-I (cRG-I) is a polydisperse polysaccharide with molecular weights of 7-250 kDa. Using size exclusion chromatography cRG-I was fractionated and pooled in fractions (PF1-6). All fractions contained the same RG-I monosaccharides and similar glycosidic linkages although in varying relative amounts.

Article Synopsis
- * A balanced microbiota (eubiosis) supports better glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, which may help reduce diabetes complications.
- * Various prebiotics, such as inulin and resistant starch, can improve gut health and glycemic control in T2DM patients by fostering beneficial bacteria and positively impacting blood sugar levels.
Polysaccharide Conjugates' contribution to mellow and thick taste of Pu-erh ripe tea, besides Theabrownin.

College of Tea Science, Yunnan Agriculture University, Kunming 650201, China.
Mellow and thick taste (MTT) is considered to be a typical taste characteristic of high-quality Pu-erh ripe tea. However, the role of polysaccharide conjugates remains unclear. In this study, the infusion of different grades of Pu-erh ripe tea was isolated to fractions by sensory-guided ultrafiltration technology and the key taste substances of MTT in Pu-erh ripe tea were identified and confirmed in the sensory reconstruction experiment.
