Reserve Polysaccharides Other Than Starch in Higher Plants

  • Chapter
Plant Carbohydrates I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((921,volume 13 / A))

Abstract

Reserve polysaccharides are formed by plant cells at certain physiological stages of development, usually during periods of intense photosynthetic activity, and are later “digested” to deliver carbohydrate monomers which re-enter the cells’ metabolism. They are stored — that is temporarily withdrawn from cellular metabolism — either in the solid state or, less frequently, in a dissolved or highly hydrated colloidal state. Their deposition takes place on the outside of the plasmalemma in the cell wall region, in plastids or in cell vacuoles. As far as we know, starch is the only polysaccharide formed in plastids and the plastids constitute the only cellular compartment which forms starch in higher plants.

Part of this chapter covers extracellular polysaccharides. In their metabolic fate, however, these differ considerably from structural cell wall components. Their relatedness to vacuolar reserve polysaccharides, in addition, made it seem reasonable to put this whole group of compounds together into this more metabolically oriented volume instead of into Volume 13 B on extracellular carbohydrates
