Overview on pectin and mucilage labeling in Netrium digitus in correlation to cell growth

Antibody Specificity Labeling
JIM 5 Middle to low methyl esterified pectins (up to 40% esterified)a CW in general, stronger staining at growth zones in cell center and tips, mucilage vesicles. Enhanced labeling after de-esterification
JIM7 Middle to high methyl esterified pectins (15% to 80% esterified)a Growing zones of CW at cell center and tips. Labeling diminishes after de-esterification
2F4 De-esterified pectinsa Labeling only after de-esterification at whole CW
Anti-mucilage Mucilage Newly formed tips after cell division, non-growing zones before division, dictyosomes, secretory vesicles
