Effect of chitooligosaccharides with different degrees of acetylation on wheat seedlings under salt stress

Resumo

Neste estudo, quitooligossacarídeos (COSs) com vários graus de acetilação (DAs) foram aplicados em mudas de trigo para investigar seu efeito na resposta de defesa das plantas sob estresse salino. Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento com COSs exógenos que tinham DAs diferentes pode promover o crescimento das plantas, diminuir a concentração de malondialdeído (MDA), melhorar a eficiência fotossintética e aumentar as atividades de antioxidantesenzimas. O exame do nível de expressão de mRNA de vários genes de resposta ao estresse salino sugeriu que o COS poderia proteger as plantas dos danos do estresse salino, ajustando a concentração de íons intracelulares e aumentando as atividades das enzimas antioxidantes. Além disso, COS com DA 50% foi o mais eficaz em aliviar o estresse salino em mudas de trigo, o que indicou que a atividade de COS estava intimamente relacionada com seus DAs.



Abstract

In this study, chitooligosaccharides (COSs) with varying degrees of acetylation (DAs) were applied to wheat seedlings in order to investigate their effect on the plants’ defence response under salt stress. The results showed that treatment with exogenous COSs that had different DAs could promote the growth of plants, decrease the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), improve the photosynthetic efficiency and enhance the activities of antioxidant enzymes. The mRNA expression level examination of several salt stress response genes suggested that COS could protect plants from the damage of salt stress by adjusting intracellular ion concentration and enhancing the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, COS with DA 50% was the most effective in alleviating salt stress to wheat seedlings, which indicated that the activity of COS was closely related with its DAs.
