Article Abstract

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOSs), important plant immunity inducers, are widely used in agriculture because of their important role in the biological control of crop diseases. However, the mechanism by which AOSs induce plant resistance to pathogens is not clear. Here, we report AOS with a degree of polymerization of 2-5, which was obtained by a newly reported enzyme Aly2. AOS treatment exhibited high activity in enhancing resistance to (. ). AOS significantly induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, calcium influx, stomata closure, and callose deposition. The salicylic acid (SA) synthesis-related gene and the defense-related genes were upregulated after AOS treatment. A transcriptome file generated from AOS-treated seedlings verified the SA pathway and suggested the presence of chitin elicitor receptor kinase (CERK). The subsequent results showed that AtCERK1 binds AOS tightly, suggesting that AtCERK1 is responsible for AOS recognition. This study laid a theoretical foundation for the broad application of AOS.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an important factor in female infertility and is often associated with oxidative stress. Alginate oligosaccharides (AOSs), derived from the degradation of alginate, have been demonstrated to have protective effects against various oxidative stress-related diseases. However, the impact of AOSs on POI has not been previously explored.

Cellulases and glucanases can effectively degrade the seaweed polysaccharides, and the resulting oligosaccharides may be subsequently fermented or used as feed additives. To improve the utilization of marine algae, the study identified and characterized Cel5B, a novel bifunctional cellulase-glucanase from Cellulophaga lytica. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that Cel5B belongs to the GH5_2 subfamily.
