Inhibition of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid-stimulated elongation of pea stem segments by a xyloglucan oligosaccharide
Abstract
Xyloglucan, isolated from the soluble extracellular polysaccharides of suspension-cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) cells, was digested with an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase purified from the culture fluid of Trichoderma viride. A nonasaccharide-rich Bio-Gel P-2 fraction of this digest inhibited 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic-acid-stimulated elongation of etiolated pea stem segments. The inhibitory activity of this oligosaccharide fraction exhibited a well-defined concentration optimum between 10(-2) and 10(-1) micrograms per milliliter. Another fraction of the same xyloglucan digest, rich in a structurally related heptasaccharide, did not, at similar concentrations, significantly inhibit the elongation.
