Barley endosperm cell walls have a bi-layered structure.• Arabinoxylan and pectin make up the outer cell wall layer.• The inner layer of the cell wall consists of β-glucan.• The arabinoxylan scaffold is not degraded during malting.• A revised model for the barley endosperm cell wall is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
