Arabinogalactans are Hydroxyproline-rich Glycoproteins (HRGPs) and belong to plant O-glycans. After accounting for starch and cellulose, the most abundant polysaccharide in pea fiber was arabinogalactan (arabinan), consisting of a linear 1,5-linked arabinose backbone with arabinose residues as side chains at position 2 or 3. Proteomics and forward genetics identify arabinogalactan (arabinan) in pea fiber as a nutrient source for multiple species
Arabinogalactan is pr…
