Description

Application

Polygalacturonic acid may be used to identify, differentiate and characterize plant cell wall degrading polygalacturonase(s) from fungi.

Biochem/physiol Actions

In land plants, polygalacturonic acids are major components of cell wall polysaccharides (pectins). Bound polygalacturonase-inhibiting peptides (PGIP) protect pectin from degradation by fungal polygalacturonases.
