Cell Wall Analysis of UXT1 Mutants.

(A) and (B) Monosaccharide composition of total cell wall extracts from upper (A) and lower (B) parts of the inflorescence stem. Data represent 10 pooled individuals and mean and sd from six technical replicates. Values are expressed in mol %.

(C) CoMPP analysis with relative abundance of cell wall glycan epitopes. Mean and sd for spot signals (MSS) were obtained by probing microarrays with antibodies (x axis) from four technical replicates and the highest MSS set to 100 and all other values adjusted accordingly. For all data, values significantly different from the wild type are marked with asterisks (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01; t test).
