“The interactive effects of both factors indicate that pectin and cellulose may beneficially affect fermentative processes in case of greater protein flow to the large intestine.”
“Ingestion … cellulose … pectin decreased the mucosal to serosal fluxes of both Na and Cl but did not significantly alter serosal to mucosal fluxes; net fluxes of … Na and Cl were significantly lower in the group supplemented with dietary fiber as compared to those animals fed a fiber-free diet.”

“These data provide insights into how homogalacturonan is methylesterified upon its synthesis, the mechanisms by which pectin functionally interacts with cellulose , and how these interactions are translated into intracellular regulation to maintain the structural integrity of the cell wall during plant growth and development.”
“Physical and functional interactions between pectin and cellulose are required for normal wall assembly and plant growth, as revealed in analyses of mutants for a pectin methyltransferase.”
“These data provide insights into how homogalacturonan is methylesterified upon its synthesis, the mechanisms by which pectin functionally interacts with cellulose , and how these interactions are translated into intracellular regulation to maintain the structural integrity of the cell wall during plant growth and development.”
“Lastly, our in silico modelling experiments indicate an additive collaboration between pectin biochemistry and cellulose orientation in promoting anisotropic growth.”
“The 6 M alkali residue still represented 31%, 11% and 5% of all GalA present in carrot, tomato and strawberry, respectively, and these pectin populations were assumed to strongly interact with cellulose.”
“This suggests that cellulose biosynthesis can be affected by the esterification levels of pectin, possibly through modifying cell wall integrity or the interaction of pectin and cellulose.”
“Altogether, these data suggest a novel role for cellulose in anchoring the pectic component of seed mucilage to the seed surface and indicate that the FEI2 protein has a function distinct from that of FEI1, despite the high sequence similarity of these RLKs.”
