Tobacco transgenic lines that express fenugreek galactomannan galactosyltransferase constitutively have structurally altered galactomannans in their seed endosperm cell walls [PDF]
Galactomannans [(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactose (Gal)-substituted (1-->4)-beta-D-mannans] are major cell wall storage polysaccharides in the endosperms of some seeds notably the legumes.

Blends of agar/galactomannan for Marubakaido apple rootstock shoot proliferation
Galactomannans (GMs) extracted from seeds of a native Brazilian specie designated Cassia fastuosa (cassia) and from Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (guar gum - a commercial GM) were mixed with agar, in the proportion of 3/3 g.L¹ (w/w), and used as a gelling ...

Chemical Methods for the Determination of Soluble and Insoluble Non-Starch Polysaccharides - Review
Polysaccharides are macromolecules of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) are principally non-α-glucan polysaccharides of the plant cell wall. They are a heterogeneous group of polysaccharides with varying degrees
