a
Mass of the fragments [M+Na+]+.
b
Hex, Hexose; Pent, pentose; OAc, O-acetyl substituent; Dox, deoxyhexose.
c
Based on XyG oligosaccharide structures found in Pauly et al. (2001).
d
Values are expressed as percentage and are means ± sd from MALDI spectra obtained after endo-glucanase digestion from three different Arabidopsis pollen tube cell wall extracts.
e
Relative abundance of this oligosaccharide corresponds to the total of the K+ and Na+ adduct fragments.
