  11. Function Pectin as storage polymer Galactan is highly abundant in the cotyledons of certain lupin (Lupinus) species and is remobilized during seed germination. Recently, it was shown that polymers containing LM6 epitopes, plausibly arabinan, are remobilized during Arabidopsis seed germination and influence germination negatively if removed before germination. In Arabidopsis seeds, The Ara was shown by pulse-chase experiments to be metabolized during germination. Hence, the arabinan in the seeds may have a storage function, but it also has a more direct role in seed germination. Hirst et al. Journal of the Chemical Society, 1947. pp 1225-1229. Crawshaw et al.

  29. The ability of anti-GAUT1 immunoprecipitates to elongate OGAs Fig. 2. Characterization of products made by anti-GAUT1 immunoabsorbed protein.

  30. Phylogenetic Analysis Fig. 3. Characterization of the Arabidopsis GAUT1- related gene superfamily.

  31. Conclusions GAUT1 is involved in HG synthesis as its antiserum immunoabsorbsHG:GalAT activity. GAUT1 and other members of the GAUT1-related superfamily are highly conserved in vascular and nonvascular plants. Identified a family of 25 genes with high sequence similarity to GAUT1 and homologous genes.
