We studied the dynamics of endogenous content of bioactive oligosaccharides in the roots of winter wheat seedlings. Previously these oligosaccharides proved to mediate development of frost resistance during the first days of hardening (Zabotina et al., 1998). The changes in their endogenous content can be described by a single-humped curve peaking 6 h after the onset of frost hardening. The capacity of these polysaccharides to increase frost resistance (LT50 was evaluated by leakage of electrolytes) when added to growth medium did not depend on the pretreatment duration (from 1.5 to 18 h) but decreased if they were introduced in the course of the adaptive response. Inhibition of the adaptive response by inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis was ceased in the presence of the oligosaccharides. We believe that the oligosaccharides that are products of metabolism of the cell wall polysaccharides are involved in adaptation to low temperature.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009844 Oligosaccharides Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. They are found throughout nature in both the free and bound form. Oligosaccharide
D011500 Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins.
