Figure 2.

Molar percentage (mol %) of monosaccharides in mucilage and predicted polymers. Total mucilage was extracted by vigorously shaking Col-0 wild-type seeds for 30 min at 30 Hz. Values represent the mean ± SD of six biological replicates. The colored horizontal bars indicate the monosaccharides that are the building blocks of particular cell wall polymers. The font sizes reflect the estimated abundance of each mucilage polymer, except for “Pectin”, which has been scaled down by around 700% to fit in the figure.
