A method for isolation of flax RNA is described; properties of the isolated RNA are given. RNA degradation was held to a minimum through a high pH (9.5) extraction buffer, diethylpyrocarbonate (4%) as a nuclease inhibitor, a high concentration (1.5%) of sodium dodecylsulphate, 2 mM Mg", and separati

✦ Synopsis
ABsTRAcr
The EDTA-extracted pectins from flax, which were fractionated by exclusion chromatography according to size, contained galactose, galacturonic acid, rhamnose , glucose, and traces of arabinose. The main components of the major fraction, a high-molecular-weight galactan, were +4)-p-Galp-(l+ chains and &Galp non-reducing terminal units according to 1D 'H-and 13C-n.m.r. analysis. The low-molecular-weight fractions contained notable amounts of rhamnose and galacturonic acid. On the basis of multipulse n.m.r. (CHORTLE, COSY, and NOESY), a rhamnogalacturonan structure of type I with @Galp units attached to the HO-4 of rhamnose can be proposed. This polymer probably constitutes the backbone of the highmolecular-weight polysaccharides.

An arabinogalactan isolated from the wood of Lark sibirica L. was investigated by methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, enzymic oxidation, and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The structural conclusions arrived at by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy were consistent with the data from methylation analysis. The po
