Arabinogalactan-proteins are distributed throughout the plant
kingdom and are present in leaves, stems, roots, floral parts, and
seeds. At the subcellular level, AGPs are localized on the plasma
membrane, in the cell wall, in secretory and endocytotic pathway
organelles, in stylar and root secretions and in the medium of
cultured cells. The widespread distribution of AGPs indicates that
they perform important functions. An expansion of knowledge
regarding AGPs has been initiated and sustained through new
experimental approaches, including the development of monoclonal
antibody probes and cloning of cDNAs corresponding to core
polypeptides. Regulated expression and other evidence points to the
involvement of AGPs in plant reproductive development, pattern
formation, and somatic embryogenesis, as well as in the processes
of cell division, cell expansion, and cell death. AGPs also have an
importance to industry. One example is gum arabic, an exudate from
Acacia senegal, a mixture of AGPs and polysaccharides which has
unique viscosity and emulsifying properties that have led to many
uses in the food as well as other industries.
