“…(Matsunaga et al, 2004). Since the early reports of borate-cross-linked RG-II dimers (dRG-II, B-dRG-II or dRG-II-B) in radish roots, sugar beet pulp, red wine, sycamore cells and etiolated pea stems (Albersheim et al, 1996), a widely held view is that RGs-II exist predominantly as dRG-II in muro rather than as RG-II monomers (mRG-II) (O'Neill et al, 2004;Pérez, Rodríguez-Carvajal, & Doco, 2003), which is corroborated by later work (Aboughe-Angone et al, 2009;Hilz, Williams, Doco, Schols, & Voragen, 2006;Yapo, 2007). RGs-II were originally purified from the soluble products of Endo-PG-digested sycamore CWM by IEC/SEC fractionations (Darvill et al, 1978).…”
