Abstract:

In this experiment, tobacco BY-2 suspension cells were used as materials to investigate the effects of extracellular ATP on the chitosan-induced changes of ROS(reactive oxygen species)level and PAL(phenylalanine ammonia-lyase)activity. The results showed that the tobacco suspension cells mixed with chitosan 5-20 μg·mL-1 increased the intracellular ROS level at adose-dependent manner, and the PAL activity also increased and reached to the maximum at 15 μg·mL-1 chitosan, and then decreased slightly. There was not significant difference in ROS levels and PAL activity in tobacco suspension cells by adding 10-40 μmol·L-1 exogenous ATP. The extracellular ATP(eATP) level gradually decreased with the concentration of chitosan increased. The effects of eATP on the chitosan-induced change of ROS level and PAL activity were further analyzed. The results showed that the exogenous ATP 20 μmol·L-1 added to chitosan-induced tobacco suspension cells effectively alleviated the increases of ROS level and PAL activity in cells. These results showed that effects of extracellular ATP can affect the chitosan-induced changes in ROS level and PAL activity in cells.

Key words: chitosan, extracellular ATP, ROS, PAL
