Wisconsin 53706 (C.A.H.)
Changes in apoplastic carbohydrate
concentrations and activities of carbohydrate-degrading enzymes were
determined in crown tissues of oat (Avena sativa L., cv
Wintok) during cold hardening. During second-phase hardening ( 3°C
for 3 d) levels of fructan, sucrose, glucose, and fructose in the
apoplast increased significantly above that in nonhardened and
first-phase-hardened plants. The extent of the increase in apoplastic
fructan during second-phase hardening varied with the degree of fructan
polymerization (DP) (e.g. DP3 and DP4 increased to a greater extent
than DP7 and DP > 7). Activities of invertase and fructan
exohydrolase in the crown apoplast increased approximately 4-fold over
nonhardened and first-phase-hardened plants. Apoplastic fluid extracted
from nonhardened, first-phase-hardened, and second-phase-hardened crown tissues had low levels, of symplastic contamination, as determined by
malate dehydrogenase activity. The significance of these results in
relation to increases in freezing tolerance from second-phase hardening
is discussed.
