Organization of cell walls in Sandersonia aurantiaca floral tissue.

Abstract:

:Visual symptoms of the onset of senescence in Sandersonia aurantiaca flowers begin with fading of flower colour and wilting of the tissue. When fully senescent, the flowers form a papery shell that remains attached to the plant. The cell walls of these flowers have been examined to determine whether there are wall modifications associated with the late stages of expansion and subsequent senescence-related wilting. Changes in the average molecular size of pectin were limited through flower opening and senescence, although there was a loss of neutral sugar-containing side-branches from pectins in opening flowers, and the total amounts of pectin and cellulose continued to rise in cell walls of fully senescent sandersonia flowers. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase activity increased in opening and mature flowers, but declined sharply as flowers wilted. Concomitantly, the proportion of hemicellulose polymers of increasing molecular weight increased from flower expansion up to the point at which wilting occurred. Approximately 50% of the non-cellulosic neutral sugar in mature flower cell walls was galactose, primarily located in an insoluble cell wall fraction. Total galactose in this fraction increased per flower with maturity, then declined at the onset of wilting. Beta-galactosidase activity was low in expanding tepals, but increased as flowers matured and wilted.
