Abstract
A boron-polysaccharide complex was isolated and purified from germinating lily (Lilium longiflorum) pollen grains. From an analysis of sugar constituents, the sugar component of the complex is revealed to be rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II). Immunocytochemistry using an antibody against the boron-RG-II complex of radish root cell walls demonstrated that the epitope is localized in the cell walls of elongating pollen tubes.
