Abstract
In plant cells carbohydrates represent one of the major components of the cell surface. Due to this peripheral situation carbohydrates are involved in many biological mechanisms, such as recognition phenomena, which are important in symbiosis and pathology. During the last 20 years, carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry have expanded considerably. In particular, the determination of primary or covalent structure of many polysaccharides has been established and has revealed that their structural complexity is much more important than was generally thought [1].
