This essay was written in an attempt to explain our overview of primary cell walls and to reach consensus on the nomenclature of primary cell wall polysaccharides. We present evidence supporting the hypothesis that cellulose, xyloglucan, arabinoxylan, homogalacturonan, RG-I, and RG-II are the six polysaccharides common to all primary cell walls of higher plants. In many cells, these six polysaccharides account for all or nearly all of the primary wall polysaccharides. Like the physically interacting proteins that constitute the electron transport machinery of mitochondria, the structures of the six patently ubiquitous polysaccharides of primary cell walls have been conserved during evolution. Indeed, we hypothesize that the common set of six structural polysaccharides of primary cell walls have been structurally...
