Pectins are the most structurally complex polysaccharides in plant
cell walls and determining their chemical structure and precise
biological roles still provides a significant challenge. However,
in the last decade, the information available on pectin structure
has increased considerably, and our understanding of the
structure-function relationships of pectins in the context of plant
cell walls is beginning to derive a major impetus from the
development of new methodologies and the molecular and genetic
dissection of the biological basis of plant growth. This book sets
out to provide state-of-the-art reviews of key areas relating to
the structure and function of pectins in both foods and developing
plant systems. The book covers not only the chemical structure,
biosynthesis and degradation of these important biopolymers in
plants, but also their biophysical properties, their links to other
wall components and their cell and developmental biology.
