Fig. 6

a Intensity ratio (S/S0) between water-edited peak intensities (S) and control spectrum (S0) showing the extent of water association of cell wall polysaccharides. The x-axis lists different carbohydrates: chitin (Ch; orange), chitosan (Cs; purple), and β-1,3-glucan (B; blue), with the superscripts indicating the respective subtypes. For example, Chc is type-c chitin. Asterisks represent outliers, circles are average, and the horizontal straight lines are median values. The data size for the apo sample (shaded in light cyan): Cha,b (n = 24), Chc (n = 14), Csa (n = 18), Csb (n = 23), Csc (n = 15), B (n = 15). Data size for the nikkomycin-treated sample (shaded in light yellow): Cha,b (n = 24), Csa (n = 19), Csb (n = 20). b 13C-T1 relaxation time constants of rigid cell wall polysaccharides. c 1H-T1ρ relaxation time constants. For both panels (b) and (c), error bars are standard deviations of the fit parameters, and horizontal dashed lines represent the average. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
