The first publication to show that oligosaccharides induce an oxidative burst in a marine alga. Preliminary data indicate a strong size-dependent effect on recognition of oligoagars and correlate active oxygen species and halogenating activity in inducing tip necrosis. The idea that volatile halocarbons are toxic to the host cells is debatable.

Plant Physiol 1998, 116:1289-1298. A detailed demonstration that the reducing end is a key element for the recognition of oligogalacturonides in various tobacco tissue culture systems. It also suggests that they are perceived either by distinct receptors in each system or that derivation alters each physiological response differently, in affecting the 'egg-box' ordered conformation.

Laminariales concentrate iodine up to 75 mM, a 150,000-fold accumulation compared to seawater. The mechanism of iodine uptake is revisited by comparing the kinetics in Laminaria spp. protoplasts and tissues. The oxidative conditions in the apoplasm are shown to play a key role both in iodide uptake and efflux. This study also indicates that extracellular haloperoxidase enhances the rate of uptake.

A comprehensive review on the ecophysiological and biochemical importance of mycosporine-like amino acids in protecting symbiotic associations against the harmful effects of UV-B radiations and consecutive oxidative damages. Interactions with degradative processes mediated by marine bacteria are reported, and potential biotechnological applications of these compounds are evoked.

Planta 1998, 205:257-262. UV exposure of the red alga C. crispus results in a strong accumulation of shinorine, whereas high PAR enhances the synthesis of all of the four C. crispus mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). Further data are required to better understand the biosynthetic pathways of MAAs and their functions in red algae.

The 123 carboxy-terminal residues of these proteins display 45% identity to those of Ascophyllum nodosum. The enzymes share highly conserved motives with the chloroperoxidase from the fungus Curvularia inaequalis.

In Proc Brighton Crop Protection Conference - Pests and Diseases, vol 2. Edited by The British Crop Protection Council. Farnham, UK: BCPC Press; 1998:441-448. Laminaran elicits phenylammonia lyase activity in tobacco cells and protects wheat seedlings against fungal infections. The elicitor acts synergistically with fungicides. This observation may lead to new, 'environment-friendly' approaches in plant protection.
