Abstract excerpt
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are highly glycosylated hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins present in plant cell walls. AGPs are characterized by arabinose-/galactose-rich side chains, which define their interactive molecular surface. Fucose residues are found in some dicotyledon AGPs, and AGP fucosylation is developmentally regulated. We previously identified Arabidopsis thaliana FUT4 and FUT6 genes as...
