| Abstract/Contents: | "Temperatures are frequently too cool on rangelands of the western United States for plant growth to occur during much of the time when soil moisture is most readily available. Altering plant metabolism to facilitate growth ;under cool temperatures holds considerable potential for improving forage production on these ranges. Sucrosyloligisaccharides in representative grasses were characterized. Sucrosyloligosaccharides facilitate the patitioning of carbohydrates outside the chloroplasts during growth at cool temperatures. Eight grasses (Bromus inermis Leys., B. tectorum L., Dactylis glomerata L., Lolium perenne L., Festuca arundinacea Schreb., Phleum pratense L., and two accessions of 'Hycrest'a cross between Agropyron desertorum (Fischer ex. Link) Schultes and A. cristatum L. Gaertner were grown in controlled environments at 10/5+ - 1 C day/night temperatures. Oligosaccharides extracted from lyophilized leaves were separated using anion exchange chromatography. The relative amounts and kinds of trisaccharides varied among species. All grass contained both raffinose and 1-ketose. Neoketose was the dominant trisaccharide in Lolium and Festuca but was absent from both Agropyron accessions have complicated profiles which may reflect the presence of both linear and branched polymers in those species. The oligosaccharide profiles determined by anion exchange chromatography may have useful chamotaxonomic applications." |
