- D-Galacturonic acid (GalA) is a hexuronic acid with the CH2OH at C5 of galactose replaced by a carboxyl group (Collins, 2006). D-galacturonic acid is abundant in pectic polysaccharides which are characterized by a high α-1,4 linked galacturonic acid content and include pectic acid (polygalacturonic acid), rhamnogalacturonan I (Oomen, 2002), rhamnogalacturonan (RG) II (Vidal, 2000), xylogalacturonan, and homogalacturonan. These polymers play roles in strengthening cell walls, cell adhesion and are established as part of signaling cascades that detect cell wall degradation upon pathogen attack.
