- Association Carbonate soluble fraction was lower in fruit with hollow heart than in fruit without it.
- Observation Degree of methylation did not differ among the compared watermelon fruit groups.
- Observation Galacturonic and glucuronic acid concentrations did not differ among the compared watermelon fruit groups.
- Observation Glucose and galactose were the most abundant monosaccharides in watermelon cell wall polysaccharides.
- Observation Xylose and arabinose followed glucose and galactose in abundance in watermelon cell wall polysaccharides.
- Observation Mannose was higher in fruit with hollow heart.
- Observation Xylose was highest in fruit from grafted plants.
- Observation Thirty-four carbohydrate linkages were identified in watermelon.
- Observation Galactose, glucose and arabinose linkages were the most abundant in watermelon.
- Observation Several new carbohydrate linkages were identified in watermelon.
- Association Total pectin and cell wall composition did not explain the tissue firmness increase in grafted fruit.
