This report contains abstracts of papers published or in press reporting work supported by this grant proposal during the past year, given here to describe the progress made in this research project. A selection of titles includes: Oxidation of oligoglycosyl alditols during methylation catalyzed by sodium hydroxide and iodomethane in methyl sulfoxide; Identification of the mass spectra of partially methylated alditol acetates by artificial neural networks; A new undecasaccharide subunit of xyloglucans with two alpha-fucosyl residues; The degree of esterification and points of substitution by O-acetyl and O-(3-Hydroxybutanoyl) groups in the acidic extracellular polusaccharides secreted by Rhizoblum legumonisarum biovars viciae, trifolii, and phaseoli are not related to host range; Preparation and characterization of oligosaccharide elicitors of phytoalexin accumulation; A comparison of the polusaccharides extracted from dried and non-dried wall of suspension-cultured sycamore cells; Characterization of seven xyloglucan oligosaccharides containing from seventeen to twenty gluycosyl residues.
