Abstract
Plant Glycobiology-a diverse world of lectins, glycoproteins, glycolipids and glycans.
Highlights
Glycosylation is essential for the growth, development or survival of every organism (Varki and Lowe, 2009)
Plant cell walls are formed of complex interlaced networks of polysaccharides and hydroxyproline-rich O-glycoproteins (HRGPs) which are considered as structural proteins (Carpita and Gibeaut, 1993)
Knoch et al (2014) focus on the recent discoveries of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZy) (Lombard et al, 2014) that are involved in the synthesis as well as in the degradation of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), i.e., a highly diverse class of cell surface HRGPs found in most plant species
Summary
Glycosylation is essential for the growth, development or survival of every organism (Varki and Lowe, 2009). They discuss the impact of these plant complex N-glycans in terms of plant development and fruit ripening (Maeda and Kimura, 2014).
