Endosperms from seeds of different subfamilies of Leguminosae were submitted to sequential aqueous and alkaline aqueous extractions. The extractions from species belonging to the Mimosoideae and Faboideae subfamilies yielded galactomannans with constant Man:Gal ratios, whereas the extractions from Caesalpinioideae seeds

Oxidative burst in plants is elicited by biotic and abiotic stressors. Analogously to some monosaccharides which act as intracellular antioxidants, cell-wall polysaccharides may be in charge of buffering free-radical production in the extracellular compartment under pronounced prooxidative settings. Although a
