The effect of paclobutrazol, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, on cell wall carbohydrate composition of apple shoots was determined. Inhibition of apple shoot extension corresponded to a change in wall composition. Paclobutrazol did not inhibit shoot growth during the first year (1983) after the treatment. There was also no significant difference in cell wall carbohydrate composition between control and paclobutrazol treated shoots. In the second year (1984), however, paclobutrazol altered the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and inhibited shoot extension. Paclobutrazol treatment increased rhamnose, arabinose and galacturonic acid but decreased cellulose. The ratio of xylem to phloem was also reduced by paclobutrazol treatment. 相似文献

We have measured significant genetically determined variation in biomass composition among breeding populations of shrub willow, a biomass feedstock crop. This project was aimed to ask whether patterns of cell wall gene expression can be correlated with genetic variation in biomass composition at harvest, in order to develop assays of early differences in gene expression as indicators of harvestable biomass chemical composition and potentially reduce the time of selection for new willow genotypes. Previous studies have demonstrated that manipulation of expression of cell wall biosynthetic genes results in altered biomass chemical composition. We analyzed genes encoding enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis and carbohydrate active enzymes selected based on their functional characterization and conservation in Populus trichocarpa and Arabidopsis thaliana. Fragments of 20 genes were cloned from young stem cDNA of Salix sachalinensis and Salix miyabeana. Expression profiling in willow stem apical tissue and developing stem tissue was performed for each isolated gene using probe-based quantitative real-time PCR. Two willow parental genotypes and six progeny within a hybrid family were selected for analysis, and significant differences in expression among the individuals and between tissue types were observed for most of the genes. Significant correlations between patterns of gene expression and variation in the biomass chemical composition of those genotypes provide insight into the genetic regulation of lignocellulosic deposition in this important bioenergy crop and could be utilized as a tool for early selection of new genotypes. 相似文献

The plant cell wall is a chemically complex structure composed mostly of polysaccharides. Detailed analyses of these cell wall polysaccharides are essential for our understanding of plant development and for our use of plant biomass (largely wall material) in the food, agriculture, fabric, timber, biofuel and biocomposite industries. We present analytical techniques not only to define the fine chemical structures of individual cell wall polysaccharides but also to estimate the overall polysaccharide composition of cell wall preparations. The procedure covers the preparation of cell walls, together with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based methods, for both the analysis of monosaccharides as their volatile alditol acetate derivatives and for methylation analysis to determine linkage positions between monosaccharide residues as their volatile partially methylated alditol acetate derivatives. Analysis time will vary depending on both the method used and the tissue type, and ranges from 2 d for a simple neutral sugar composition to 2 weeks for a carboxyl reduction/methylation linkage analysis. 相似文献

不同品种苹果采后后熟软化过程中细胞壁多糖的降解 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
以2种苹果为试材,提取了不同贮藏时期果实的细胞壁物质和8种细胞壁多糖组分,并采用气相色谱法分析了细胞壁多糖组分的单糖组成。结果表明,在贮藏过程中,‘金星’苹果果肉的硬度下降明显,在贮藏第10天前后出现明显的乙烯释放量高峰,而耐贮藏性‘富士’苹果在贮藏期间只释放极少量的乙烯。‘金星’苹果的Na2CO3-1溶性果胶多糖组分的减少尤为显著。这些结果表明,苹果果实Na2CO3-1溶性果胶多糖组分侧链成分的酶降解,是引起苹果细胞壁多糖网络结构的变化,进而导致果实软化的重要原因之一。 相似文献

The possibility of an association between changes in cell walls of the micropylar portion of the endosperm and the induction of germination was explored in seeds of Datura ferox and Datura stramonium. The structure of the inner surface of the endosperm was studied by scanning electron microscopy and the composition of cell wall polysaccharides analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both scanning electron microscope images and chemical analysis showed changes in the micropylar portion of the endosperm in induced seeds before radicle protrusion. The inner surface of the endosperm appeared eroded, and in some areas, wall material seemed to be missing. The content of the main component of the cell wall polysaccharides, containing predominantly 4-linked mannose, decreased well before the emergence of the radicle through the endosperm. We propose that the degradation of a mannan type polysaccharide is an important factor in the reduction in mechanical strength of the endosperm, thus facilitating germination. 相似文献

Plant polysaccharides comprise the major portion of organic matter in the biosphere. The cell wall built on the basis of polysaccharides is the key feature of a plant organism largely determining its biology. All together, around 10 types of polysaccharide backbones, which can be decorated by different substituents giving rise to endless diversity of carbohydrate structures, are present in cell walls of higher plants. Each of the numerous cell types present in plants has cell wall with specific parameters, the features of which mostly arise from the structure of polymeric components. The structure of polysaccharides is not directly encoded by the genome and has variability in many parameters (molecular weight, length, and location of side chains, presence of modifying groups, etc.). The extent of such variability is limited by the “functional fitting” of the polymer, which is largely based on spatial organization of the polysaccharide and its ability to form supramolecular complexes of an appropriate type. Consequently, the carrier of the functional specificity is not the certain molecular structure but the certain type of the molecules having a certain degree of heterogeneity. This review summarizes the data on structural features of plant cell wall polysaccharides, considers formation of supramolecular complexes, gives examples of tissue- and stage-specific polysaccharides and functionally significant carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions in plant cell wall, and presents approaches to analyze the spatial structure of polysaccharides and their complexes. 相似文献

Cellular polysaccharide fractions of various representative members of genera of the family Spirochaetaceae were obtained by the ammonium hydroxide extraction method. The sugar composition of the polysaccharide preparations was complex and many kinds of sugars such as rhamnose, fucose, ribose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and glucose were detected in all of the spirochetes tested. Of particular interest was the presence of 4-O-methylmannose as a constituent polysaccharide in members of the genus Leptospira. This sugar was not detected in the polysaccharides of Spirochaeta, Borrelia, and Treponema. The chemical compositions of cell wall fractions were also examined. 4-O-Methylmannose was detected in the cell wall polysaccharides of the genus Leptospira but not in cell walls prepared from the Spirochaeta, Borrelia, and Treponema. The diaminopimelic acid present in cell wall peptidoglycans of the genus Leptospira was meso-diaminopimelic acid (A2pm). The molar ratios of alanine, glutamic acid, A2pm, glycine, muramic acid, and glucosamine in leptospiral cell walls were found to be approximately 2:1:1:1:1:1. In contrast to the Leptospira, the peptidoglycans of genera Spirochaeta, Borrelia, and Treponema contained ornithine (Orn) but not A2pm. Since 4-O-methylmannose and A2pm were found in the cell wall fractions of genus Leptospira but not in Spirochaeta, Borrelia, or Treponema, it was suggested that the chemical compositions of the cell wall might become an important criterion for the chemotaxonomy of Spirochaetales. 相似文献

Apple is host to a wide range of pests and diseases, with several of these, such as apple scab, powdery mildew and woolly
apple aphid, being major causes of damage in most areas around the world. Resistance breeding is an effective way of controlling
pests and diseases, provided that the resistance is durable. As the gene pyramiding strategy for increasing durability requires
a sufficient supply of resistance genes with different modes of action, the identification and mapping of new resistance genes
is an ongoing process in breeding. In this paper, we describe the mapping of an apple scab, a powdery mildew and a woolly
apple aphid gene from progeny of open-pollinated mildew immune selection. The scab resistance gene Rvi16 was identified in progeny 93.051 G07-098 and mapped to linkage group 3 of apple. The mildew and woolly aphid genes were identified
in accession 93.051 G02-054. The woolly aphid resistance gene Er4 mapped to linkage group 7 to a region close to where previously the genes Sd1 and Sd2, for resistance to the rosy apple leaf-curling aphid, had been mapped. The mildew resistance gene Pl-m mapped to the same region on linkage group 11 where Pl2 had been mapped previously. Flanking markers useful for marker-assisted selection have been identified for each gene. 相似文献

Changes in Cell Wall Composition and Water-soluble Polysaccharides During Kiwifruit Development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Changes in both cell wall and water-soluble polysaccharide compositionduring the growth of kiwifruits [Actinidia deliciosa (A. chev.) C. F. Liang and A. R. Ferguson var. deliciosa Hayward]were investigated. Cellulose was the major wall polysaccharide,with galactose and uronics the main non-cellulosic sugars. Muchsolubilization of cell wall pectic polysaccharides was detected.While wall-galactose solubilization started 3 months after anthesis,polyuronide degradation did not start until the fifth month,1 month prior to the harvest date. Parallel to these processes,a linear increase in water-soluble polysaccharides was detected.These mainly comprised galactose-rich polymers in the first3 months and little-branched polyuronides after the fifth month.Two different mechanisms for galactose and uronic acid solubilizationfrom kiwifruit cell walls during fruit development are proposed.

Evaluation of biomass crops for breeding or pricing purposes requires an assay that predicts performance in the bioenergy conversion process. Cell wall polysaccharide hydrolysis was compared for a dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment at 121°C followed with cellulase hydrolysis for 72?h conversion assay (CONV) with in vitro rumen microflora incubation for 72?h (RUMEN) for a set of maize (Zea mays L.) stover samples with a wide range in cell wall composition. Residual polysaccharides from the assays were analyzed for sugar components and extent of hydrolysis calculated. Cell wall polysaccharide hydrolysis was different for all sugar components between the CONV and RUMEN assays. The CONV assay hydrolyzed xylose-, arabinose-, galactose-, and uronic acid-containing polysaccharides to a greater degree than did the RUMEN assay, whereas the RUMEN assay was more effective at hydrolyzing glucose- and mannose-containing polysaccharides. Greater hydrolysis of hemicelluloses and pectins by CONV can be attributed to the acid hydrolysis mechanism of the CONV assay for noncellulosic polysaccharides, whereas the RUMEN assay was dependent on enzymatic hydrolysis. While CONV and RUMEN hydrolysis were correlated for most polysaccharide components, the greatest correlation was only r?=?0.70 for glucose-containing polysaccharides. Linear correlations and multiple regressions indicated that polysaccharide hydrolysis by the RUMEN assay was negatively associated with lignin concentration and ferulate ether cross linking as expected. Corresponding correlations and regressions for CONV were less consistent and occasionally positive. Use of rumen microbial hydrolysis to characterize biomass performance in a conversion process may have some limited usefulness for genetic evaluations, but such assays would be unreliable for biomass pricing. 相似文献

Cell wall chemistry in the coencocytic green seaweed Codium vermilara (Olivi) Delle Chiaje (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) is well understood. These cell walls are composed of major amounts of neutral β‐(1→4)‐D‐ mannans (Mn), sulfated polysaccharides (SPs), which include pyranosic arabinan sulfates (ArpS), pyruvylated galactan sulfates (pGaS), and mannan sulfates (MnS); also minor amounts of O‐glycoproteins are present. In this study, cell wall samples of C. vermilara were investigated with regard to their monosaccharide composition and infrared spectra (using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled to principal component [FTIR‐PC] analysis). Samples from three different populations of C. vermilara from the Argentine coast showed: (i) an important variation in the relative arabinan content, which increases from north to south, and (ii) a measurable degree of cell wall variability in the sulfate distribution between the different sulfated polysaccharides, independent of the amount of each polysaccharide present and of total sulfate content. When cell wall composition was analyzed over three consecutive years in a single geographic location, the quantity of Mn and overall sulfate content on SPs remained constant, whereas the pGaS:ArpS molar ratio changed over the time. Besides, similar cell wall composition was found between actively growing and resting zones of the thallus, suggesting that cell wall composition is independent of growth stage and development. Overall, these results suggest that C. vermilara has developed a mechanism to adjust the total level of cell wall sulfation by modulating the ArpS:pGaS:MnS molar ratio and also by adjusting the sulfation level in each type of polymer, whereas nonsulfated Mn, as the main structural polysaccharide, did not change over the time or growing stage. 相似文献

Two new polysaccharides were isolated from the cell walls of the carrageenan producing red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty. They were characterized by chemical analyses, enzymatic degradations, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. One was a 4.0 M NaOH soluble β-(1,4)- d -glucomannan that mostly precipitated upon neutralization and dialysis. It was composed of about 82 residues, and 70% of its glucose and mannose were released by a commercial cellulase enzyme complex. The disaccharide β- d -Man (1→4) d -Glc was recovered from the hydrolysate during the first hours of degradation and confirmed the chemical structure of the polysaccharide. The other polysaccharide was extracted with 1.5 M NaOH and was identified as a sulfated glucan of degree of polymerization of about 180 1,4-linked β-glucose containing 10% 1,3-linkages. The sulfate was located on C-6 of 64% of the 4-linked glucose residues. A third alkali-soluble polysaccharide rich in galactose was also detected. The distribution of the glucomannan and galactose containing polysaccharides was inversely related to the algal cell size. Potential functions of these alkali-soluble polymers are discussed in the context of cell wall polysaccharide assembly. 相似文献

Cell walls were isolated from the mesocarp of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries at developmental stages from before veraison through to the final ripe berry. Fluorescence and light microscopy of intact berries revealed no measurable change in cell wall thickness as the mesocarp cells expanded in the ripening fruit. Isolated walls were analyzed for their protein contents and amino acid compositions, and for changes in the composition and solubility of constituent polysaccharides during development. Increases in protein content after veraison were accompanied by an approximate 3-fold increase in hydroxyproline content. The type I arabinogalactan content of the pectic polysaccharides decreased from approximately 20 mol % of total wall polysaccharides to about 4 mol % of wall polysaccharides during berry development. Galacturonan content increased from 26 to 41 mol % of wall polysaccharides, and the galacturonan appeared to become more soluble as ripening progressed. After an initial decrease in the degree of esterification of pectic polysaccharides, no further changes were observed nor were there large variations in cellulose (30–35 mol % of wall polysaccharides) or xyloglucan (approximately 10 mol % of wall polysaccharides) contents. Overall, the results indicate that no major changes in cell wall polysaccharide composition occurred during softening of ripening grape berries, but that significant modification of specific polysaccharide components were observed, together with large changes in protein composition. 相似文献

Polysaccharide analysis using carbohydrate gel electrophoresis: a method to study plant cell wall polysaccharides and polysaccharide hydrolases. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A method to characterize plant cell wall polysaccharides is presented. The complexity of the polymer structures and the large number of different charged and uncharged monosaccharides that make up plant polysaccharides have previously made analysis technically demanding and laborious. Polysaccharide analysis using carbohydrate gel electrophoresis (PACE) relies on derivatization of reducing ends of sugars and oligosaccharides with a fluorophore, followed by electrophoresis under optimized conditions in polyacrylamide gels. We show that PACE is a sensitive and simple tool for studying the monosaccharide composition of polysaccharides and of cell wall preparations. In combination with specific hydrolases, it can be used to analyze the structure of polysaccharides. Moreover, the specificity and kinetics of the plant polysaccharide hydrolases themselves can be quickly and effectively studied. PACE can detect as little as 500 fmol of monosaccharides and 100 fmol of oligosaccharides, and it is fast and quantitative. 相似文献

A study was made of the contents of the main polysaccharide fractions in the cell wall, and extracellular polysaccharides, and of the activity of cell wall enzymes during cultivation of suspension culture of cells of the winter wheat Triticum timopheevii Zhuk. It was shown that within 3 days of cultivation (a phase enriched in dividing cells), on the background of increased callose contents in plant cells, amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses extracted by 4N alkali decreased. The content of polysaccharides reached its initial level by the end of culturing. A parallel analysis of glycosidase activity in cell walls has shown their considerable activation at the stage enriched by dividing cells, which decreased at a transition of culture into the stationary level. The increased activity of hydrolyzing enzymes was combined with an increased efflux of extracellular polysaccharides into culture medium. The detected changes in polysaccharide composition of the cell wall at the first phase indicate its qualitative changes during cell wall reconstruction at the beginning of cytokines, whereas extensive expansion of cell wall was seen on the phase of elongation. 相似文献

Plant cell wall polysaccharides vary in quantity and structure between different organs and during development. However, quantitative analysis of individual polysaccharides remains challenging, and relatively little is known about any such variation in polysaccharides in organs of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. We have analysed plant cell wall pectic polysaccharides using polysaccharide analysis by carbohydrate gel electrophoresis. By highly specific enzymatic digestion of a polysaccharide in a cell wall preparation, a unique fingerprint of short oligosaccharides was produced. These oligosaccharides gave quantitative and structural information on the original polysaccharide chain. We analysed enzyme-accessible polygalacturonan (PGA), linear β(1,4) galactan and linear α(1,5) arabinan in several organs of Arabidopsis: roots, young leaves, old leaves, lower and upper inflorescence stems, seeds and callus. We found that this PGA constitutes a high proportion of cell wall material (CWM), up to 15% depending on the organ. In all organs, between 60 and 80% of the PGA was highly esterified in a blockwise fashion, and surprisingly, dispersely esterified PGA was hardly detected. We found enzyme-accessible linear galactan and arabinan are both present as a minor polysaccharide in all the organs. The amount of galactan ranged from ~0.04 to 0.25% of CWM, and linear arabinan constituted between 0.015 and 0.1%. Higher levels of galactan correlated with expanding tissues, supporting the hypothesis that this polysaccharide is involved in wall extension. We show by analysis of mur4 that the methods and results presented here also provide a basis for studies of pectic polysaccharides in Arabidopsis mutants. 相似文献

Composition and desiccation-induced alterations of the cell wall in the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Resurrection plants have the unique capacity to revive from an air-dried state. In order to tolerate desiccation they have to overcome a number of stresses, mechanical stress being one. In leaves of the Craterostigma species, an extensive shrinkage occurs during drying as well as a considerable cell wall folding. Our previous microscopically analysis using immunocytochemistry on the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii , has shown an increase in labelling of xyloglucan and unesterified pectins in the cell wall during drying. In this study, we have undertaken a biochemical approach to separate, quantify and characterize major cell wall polysaccharides in fully hydrated and dry leaves of C. wilmsii . Our results show that the overall cell wall composition of C. wilmsii leaves was similar to that of other dicotyledonous plants with respect to the pectin content. However, the structure of the hemicellulosic polysaccharide xyloglucan was characterized to be XXGG-type. The data also demonstrate marked changes in the hemicellulosic wall fraction from dry plants compared to hydrated ones. The most conspicuous change was a decrease in glucose content in the hemicellulosic fraction of dry plants. In addition, xyloglucan from the cell wall of dry leaves was relatively more substituted with galactose than in hydrated walls. Together these findings show that dehydration induces significant alteration of polysaccharide content and structure in the cell wall of C. wilmsii , which in turn might be involved in the modulation of the mechanical properties of the wall during dehydration. 相似文献

Untrastructural interactions between Venturia inaequalis and callus cultures from scab susceptible and resistant apple varieties, were similar. Host cell wall changes, appositions, and invagination of host plasmamembrane at sites of close contact with fungal hyphae were regularly observed. The ultrastructural observations are described and discussed. The host cell alterations as well as many fungal structures corresponded to those known in young leaves of susceptible apple varieties. 相似文献

Structural studies of cell wall polysaccharides from Bifidobacterium breve YIT 4010 and related Bifidobacterium species 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The chemical compositions of the cell walls obtained from 8 strains in 5 species of Bifidobacterium were analyzed. These cell walls were shown to be composed of peptidoglycan and polysaccharide moieties. Some variations with respect to contents of neutral sugars and content of phosphorus were observed with some cell wall preparations from the same species. The neutral polysaccharides in cell walls of 4 strains of Bifidobacterium (B. bifidum YIT 4007, B. breve YIT 4010, B. infantis YIT 4025, and B. longum ATCC 15707) were purified and their chemical structures were analyzed. One of these polysaccharides, obtained from B. breve YIT 4010, was analyzed in detail by GLC, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic analyses, methylation, Smith degradation and acetolysis, and the results suggested the following structure for the repeating unit of the polysaccharide: (Formula: see text). 相似文献
