Storage and cell wall carbohydrates from plants and filamentous fungi: changes in response to alelochemicals and environmental conditions

Abstract

The plant cell wall is a highly organized and dynamic structure, which, in addition to its structural function, also plays a key role in mediating plant responses to the environment, changing its structure and composition in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Recently, it has been demonstrated by our group that seeds of Sesbania virgata exudate high amounts of catechin and that this alelochemical inhibits seed germination and the growth of microbial species. However it is not known if this effect involves changing the seed metabolism of carbohydrates and cell walls and if it also inhibits germination of native species which co-occurs with S. virgata. Results obtained in previous thematic project FAPESP also indicated that pectic polysaccharides vary in response to changes in the environment in of plants of the cerrado and that the predominance of neutral pectic polymers (arabinans) can lead to greater flexibility of the wall in orthodox seeds, contributing to their desiccation tolerance. In filamentous fungi isolated from the rhizosphere of plants of cerrado, previous studies have revealed changes in the thickness and composition of their cell wall depending on the carbon source available in the culture medium. These results served as a basis for the proposition of this research project that besides proposing to continue studies with models already studied, includes new Brazilian native species, such as two bromeliads and filamentous fungi that produce oligosaccharides. The project is divided into 3 subprojects with the following goals: 1) evaluate the tolerance of species that co-occur with s. virgata to its exudated allelochemicals based on the metabolism of carbohydrates in comparison with agronomic species 2) analyze the variations in composition and structure of cell wall polysaccharides in plants native to cerrado under water deficit and low temperatures 3) evaluate the effect of inulin, fructose and sucrose on structure and composition of the cell walls and in the expression of genes related to production of oligosaccharides in filamentous fungi isolated from plants of the cerrado. Moreover, the project also includes the formation of human resources with the participation undergraduate students (PIBICCNPq), two Masters students, three doctoral students (2 CAPES-DINTER UNICAMP, 1 IBt), and a technician under my supervision.
