Four major clusters of GT expression in maize root. Expression profiles represent normalized and averaged TGR values for each cluster. Polysaccharides were assigned to a particular cluster based on the proportion of corresponding GTs included in the cluster. Protein levels are shown on a diagram as means for all members of a particular cluster. Labelling intensity is shown as color gradient where white corresponds to weak labelling. XyG—xyloglucan, HG—homogalacturonan, PW—primary cell wall, GAX—glucuronoarabinoxylan, MLG—mixed-linkage glucan, RG-I—rhamnogalacturonan-I, SW—secondary cell wall. Cap—Root cap, Mer—meristem, eElong—early elongation zone, Elong—elongation zone, and lElong—late elongation zone, Cortex RH and Stele RH—cortex and stele in root hair region, respectively. *RG-I related antibodies had equal intensity of labelling in all studied root zones.
