Characterisation of FUT4 and FUT6 α-(1→2)-Fucosyltransferases Reveals that Absence of Root Arabinogalactan Fucosylation Increases Arabidopsis Root Growth Salt Sensitivity

Plant type II arabinogalactan (AG) polysaccharides are attached to arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) at hydroxyproline residues, and they are very diverse and heterogeneous structures. The AG consists of a β-(1→3)-linked galactan backbone with β-(1→6)-galactan side chains that are modified mainly with...
