FIBRILLAR STRUCTURE OF CA POLYGALACTURONATE AS MODEL FOR A SOIL-ROOTINTERFACE .1. A HYPOTHESIS ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE POLYMERIC CHAINS INSIDE THE FIBRILS / Gessa, C; Deiana, Salvatore Andrea. - In: PLANT AND SOIL. - ISSN 0032-079X. - 129:2(1990), pp. 211-217.
abstract:
The movement of nutrients from soil towards the absorbing cells of the plant roots appears to be controlled by a mucilaginous interface composed prevalently of polysaccharides and characterized by a fibrillar structure. A network of Ca-polygalacturonate arranged in fibrils similar to those of plant roots has been obtained. In this paper such a formation is documented and discussed in structural terms.
