The barley endo-β-mannanase () gene family () has been identified and the expression of its members analyzed throughout different plant organs, and upon grain development and germination. The gene has been found to be highly expressed in developing and germinating grains. The MAN (EC 3.2.1.78) enzymatic activity gets a maximum in grains at 48 h of germination (post-germination event). Immunolocalization of mannan polymers in grains has revealed the presence of these polysaccharides in the endosperm cell walls (CWs). By mRNA hybridization assays, the transcripts have been localized to the aleurone layer, but not to the dead starchy endosperm cells. These data suggest that MAN1 is synthesized in the aleurone layer during early grain imbibition and moves potentially through the apoplast to the endosperm where the hydrolysis of the mannan polymers takes place after germination . Hence, mannans in the starchy endosperm CWs, besides their structural function, could be used as reserve compounds upon barley post-germination.
大麦内切-β-甘露聚糖酶()基因家族()已被鉴定,并且其成员在不同植物器官以及籽粒发育和萌发过程中的表达也已得到分析。已发现基因在发育中和萌发的籽粒中高度表达。MAN(EC 3.2.1.78)酶活性在萌发48小时的籽粒中达到最大值(萌发后事件)。籽粒中甘露聚糖聚合物的免疫定位揭示了这些多糖存在于胚乳细胞壁(CWs)中。通过mRNA杂交试验,转录本已定位到糊粉层,而未定位到死亡的淀粉胚乳细胞。这些数据表明,MAN1在籽粒早期吸水过程中在糊粉层中合成,并可能通过质外体移动到胚乳,在萌发后甘露聚糖聚合物在胚乳中发生水解。因此,淀粉胚乳CWs中的甘露聚糖,除了其结构功能外,在大麦萌发后还可作为储备化合物。
