Table II.

The amounts of borate cross-linked RG-II in the cell walls of bryophytes, lycophytes, pteridophytes, dicotyledenous and non-graminaceous monocots, and the gramineae

The amounts of RG-II in the non-flowering plant walls were determined by SEC/ICP-MS analyses of the material solubilized from bryophytes, lycophytes, and pteridophytes by Driselase.

Plant Group	Average Amount of Borate Cross-Linked RG-II	Range of the Amount of Borate Cross-Linked RG-II
	mg g⁻¹ dry wt cell wall ± sd	mg g⁻¹ dry wt cell wall
Bryophytes	0.1 ± 0.06	0.04-0.25
n = 13^a
Lycophytes	7.4 ± 6.2	2.0-19.1
n = 7
Pteridophytes	9.3 ± 4.9	1.9-19.9
n = 12
Dicotyledons and non-graminaceous monocotyledons^b	22.8 ± 8.5	5.0-36.0
n = 18
Gramineae^c	3.8 ± 1.0	3.0-5.0
n = 4
