Pear stone cell content is one of key determinants of fruit quality. Stone cells form by the deposition of lignin on primary cell walls, following secondary thickening of cell walls. Studies of the structure and metabolic pathway of pear lignin are rare. Stone cell and lignin content in the pulp of Pyrus bretschneideri cv. Dangshan Su were determined during fruit development. Lignin was extracted, purified and analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) light, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy. Intermediates of lignin biosynthesis were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results show that lignin content increases initially and decreases afterwards during fruit development, peaking twice at day 47 and day 63 after flowering. The lignin peaks precede both peaks of stone cell content (day 51 after flowering) and at the point at which sclereids reach their maximum diameter (day 67 after flowering). The milled wood lignin in pulp was identified as guaiacyl-syringyl-lignin by spectroscopic analyses. In the FTIR spectra, the peak intensity ratio of A₁₂₆₉/A₁₂₂₇ was 1.25. HPLC analyses detected cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid, but not caffeic acid or ferulic acid. In conclusion, during pear fruit development, lignin is first biosynthesized, and subsequently deposited on cell walls to form stone cells and sclereids. The biosynthesis of guaiacyl-syringyl- lignin in pear pulp may involve a phenylpropane-type metabolic pathway from phenylalanine to cinnamic acid and acyl-CoA ester, as pear pulp lignin contains more guaiacyl units than syringyl units.  相似文献

Localization of phytoalexin accumulation and determination of changes in lignin and carbohydrate composition in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) xylem as a consequence of infection with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. dianthi,by pyrolysis-mass spectrometry

Minute pieces of xylem and other tissues from stems of healthy and fungus-infected plants of two carnation cultivars Novada and Lena were investigated for lignification (lignin/polysaccharide ratios) and lignin composition by means of pyrolysis mass spectrometry and pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry. This technique proved also very effective for the localization of dianthramide phytoalexins which accumulate in carnation after infection withFusarium oxysporum f.sp.dianthi. The composition of healthy tissues from both cultivars was practically the same. In the resistant cultivar Novada, infection induced a change from guaiacyl-syringyl lignin into a mainly guaiacyl lignin in the gum-occluded parts of the xylem. Considerable amounts of the phenolic amide dianthalexin and of other dianthramide phytoalexins were present in occluded xylem, but not in adjacent phloem, medulla or unoccluded xylem. Xylem from susceptible Lena suffering degradation was characterized by a loss of syringyl groups from the lignin and by demethylation of pectin in an early stage of infection. Small quantities of dianthalexin and other dianthramide phytoalexins were found in Lena when local defense responses (particularly occlusion) had occurred. In both cultivars evidence for degradation of hemicellulose was found.Samenvatting Kleine stukjes xyleem en andere weefsels van de stengels van gezonde en geïnoculeerde planten van een tweetal anjercultivars, Novada en Lena, werden onderzocht op mate van lignificatie (lignine/polysaccharide verhouding) en ligninesamenstelling met behulp van pyrolyse-massaspectrometrie en pyrolyse-gaschromatografie massaspectrometrie. Deze techniek bleek ook bruikbaar voor het localiseren van fytoalexinen van het dianthramide-type, welke in anjer accumuleren na infectie metFusarium oxysporum f.sp.dianthi. De samenstelling van gezonde weefsels was bij beide cultivars praktisch gelijk. Bij de resistente cultivar Novada leidde infectie tot een verandering van guaiacyl-syringyllignine in guaiacyl-lignine in door gommen afgesloten delen van het xyleem. Xyleem met gommen bevatte aanzienlijke hoeveelheden van het fenolamide dianthalexine en van de andere fytoalexinen van het dianthramide type. De fytoalexinen werden niet aangetroffen in aangrenzend floeem, merg of gezond ogend xyleem. Bij de vatbare cultivar Lena trad afbraak van het xyleem op, dat daarbij armer aan syringyllignine werd, terwijl tevens in een vroeg stadium pectine werd gedemethyleerd. In Lena werden slechts kleine hoeveelheden fytoalexinen gevonden, met name bij locaal opgetreden afweerreacties zoals gomvorming. Bij beide cultivars werden aanwijzingen voor afbraak van hemicellulosen gevonden.  相似文献
