Structures of complex plant polysaccharides : exudates from Hakea sericea and Hakea gibbosa

Bibliography: pages 203-208.The polysaccharide exudates from two species of Hakea (fam. Proteaceae), H. sericea (from Grahamstown) and H. qibbosa (from Constantiaberg), have been investigated. In this study molecular structural differences which may arise from the species of origin were sought. The possibility that a polysaccharide component of the glucuronomannan type might be present was of interest, as this structure is rare
