Two physiologically active oligosaccharide fractions were isolated from pectin of Pisum sativum L. cell wall after its partial acid hydrolysis. These fractions displayed stimulating and inhibiting effects on root formation in thin-layer explants. The subsequent separation of these fractions by gel permeation and anion-exchange chromatography resulted in fractions with effective concentrations two orders of magnitude lower than the concentrations of the initial fractions. The resulting oligosaccharides displayed their effect on the earliest stage of the rhizogenesis associated with formation of root primordias. The rhizogenesis-inhibiting fraction suppressed cell division by 30-50%. The stimulating fraction mainly contained fragments of xyloglucan and galactan, and the inhibiting fraction contained fragments of xyloglucan, galactan, and arabinan. The polymerization degrees of the stimulating and of the inhibiting oligosaccharides were 10-11 and 5-6, respectively.
During systematic studies of the behavior of oligogalacturonic acids (OGAs) under different conditions using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), cation adduction, fragmentation and non-covalent binding were found to be the three major problems that compromised the analysis of OGAs by ESI-MS. By adjusting solution components, capillary temperature and capillary voltage in the ESI source, an optimized condition was found that gave a clean and clear spectrum of trigalacturonic acid. A direct injection ESI-MS technique based on the use of aqueous acetonitrile and acetic acid and triethylamine (TEA) as modifiers has been applied to analyze a mixture including mono-, di- and trigalacturonic acids, which will facilitate further applications of ESI-MS in the analysis of mixtures of OGAs.
