Acetyl groups in cell-wall preparations from higher plants

John S D Bacon 1, Alex H Gordon 1, E Jane Morris 1, Victor C Farmer 2
PMCID: PMC1165644  PMID: 1180909

Abstract

O-Acetyl groups were detected by i.r. spectroscopy in cell-wall preparations from grasses and other higher plants and their presence was confirmed chemically. The amounts present are likely to influence both the physical state of the cell-wall polysaccharides and also their digestion by enzymes.
