Abstract

The role of carbohydrates in physiological and biochemical processes in plants has been investigated primarily using crops from temperate climates as model plants. Recent studies performed by our group with native tropical species from the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest have shown a high structural, metabolic, and functional diversity of carbohydrates, indicating the presence of a great variety of adaptive strategies of these species to environmental conditions. Additionally, the studies demonstrated the biotechnological potential of carbohydrates and the molecules related to their metabolism, which have novel and specific characteristics. The aim of the present project is to continue the studies on carbohydrates of native tropical species, with a focus on their role as modulators of physiological processes and markers of stress conditions in plants. Three model systems were chosen to perform our studies: 1) seeds (orthodox, recalcitrant, and intermediate) of native species that accumulate different storage carbohydrates with the aim of analyzing the relationship between such carbohydrates and drought tolerance, maturity and defense; 2) plant explants of tropical trees and fungal cultures cultivated in vitro to evaluate the involvement of carbohydrates as inducers and markers of specific steps in the somatic and zygotic embryogeneses and in morphological differentiation of filamentous fungi; 3) leaves and thickened underground organs of native species, storing starch and soluble sugars to investigate the role of carbohydrates as markers of developmental processes and environmental stress responses.
