The synthesis of three oligogalacturonates with an aldehyde spacer attached at the reducing end is described. Trigalacturonates alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->4)-alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->4)-alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->O(CH(2))(7)CHO and alpha-d-GalpA(Me)-(1-->4)-alpha-d-GalpA(Me)-(1-->4)-alpha-d-GalpA(Me)-(1-->O(CH(2))(7)CHO as well as hexagalacturonate alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->4)-[alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->4)](4)-alpha-d-GalpA-(1-->O(CH(2))(7)CHO are prepared by stepwise coupling of galactose units followed by oxidation of the 6-positions. The alpha-linkages are formed by employing n-pentenyl galactosides as glycosyl donors and N-iodosuccinimide/triethylsilyl triflate as the promoter. Deprotection furnishes the three target oligogalacturonates, which are subsequently linked to bovine serum albumin by reductive amination. These neoglycoproteins will serve as immunogens for generation of new antibodies that can be used for localization and characterization of pectin in plants.

Carbohydrate-based cell wall signaling impacts plant growth, development, and stress responses; however, how cell wall signals are perceived and transduced remains poorly understood. Several cell wall breakdown products have been described as typical damage-associated molecular patterns that activate plant immunity, including pectin-derived oligogalacturonides (OGs). Receptor kinases of the WALL-ASSOCIATED KINASE (WAK) family bind pectin and OGs and were previously proposed as OG receptors.

Article Synopsis
- In plants, cell wall fragments like oligogalacturonides (OGs) trigger immune responses by activating signal transduction pathways.
- Research on the protein DET3, a subunit of the vacuolar H-ATPase, revealed that its knockdown mutant (det3) showed reduced activation of defensive genes and other immune responses when exposed to OGs.
- The det3 mutant also demonstrated impaired endocytosis of OGs, linking DET3 to the internalization of these molecules, which is vital for maintaining a strong defense against pathogens like Botrytis cinerea.

Plant growth and immunity are tightly interconnected. Oligogalacturonic acids (OGs) are pectic fragments and have been well investigated in plant immunity as a damage-associated molecular pattern. However, little is known regarding how OGs affect plant growth.

Pectate lyases (Pels) have a vital function in degradation of the primary plant cell wall and the middle lamella and have been widely used in the industry. In this study, two pectate lyase genes, IDSPel16 and IDSPel17, were cloned from a sheep rumen microbiome. The recombinant enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli and functionally characterized.
