Degradation of type II AGs in muro. (A) β-Yariv-reactive type II AGs in the transgenic plants. A radial gel diffusion assay with β-Yariv reagent was performed with the soluble fraction. Representative results for WT, Dex::Il3GAL #2 and #3, and Dex::Il3GAL-PM #2 and #3 are shown here. (B) Estimated amount of type II AGs. The area of the halo formed by β-Yariv-reactive type II AGs was calculated and plotted. Data are mean values ±SD (n=3 biological replicates). Asterisks indicate significant differences between amounts with and without Dex treatment (Student’s t-test, *P<0.05; **P<0.01).
