“…They do have a threoninerich protein with sequences reminiscent of the typical extensin structure (Kieliszewski et al, 1990), and as with extensin, the soluble precursors accumulate early in the cell cycle and become insoluble during cell elongation and differentiation (Ludevid et a/., 1990). This polymer is enriched in vascular tissue and in special, reinforced wall structures such as the pericarp (Hood etal., 1988(Hood etal., , 1991.…”
