Pectic-β(1,4)-galactan, extensin and arabinogalactan–protein epitopes diff…

† Background and Aims: Cell wall changes in ripening grapes (Vitis vinifera) have been shown to involve re-modelling of pectin, xyloglucan and cellulose networks. Newer experimental techniques, such as molecular probes specific for cellwall epitopes, haveyet to be extensively used in grape studies. Limited general information is available on the cell wall properties that contribute to textur…
