MAPK activity in response to consecutive OE treatments. L.
peruvianum suspension-cultured cells were pretreated with the OEs chitin
(100 μm chitotetraose), chitosan (1.7 μg
mL–1), β-glucan (10 μg
mL–1), or PGA (830 μg
mL–1), or were left untreated. At 30, 60, 90, and
120 min thereafter, treated and untreated cells were left untreated or were
supplied a second time with the same OE. Ten minutes thereafter, cells were
quick-frozen and assayed for MAPK activity. Samples corresponding to a given
time point (lanes 1–4) were taken at the same time. Lane 1, Untreated
control. Lane 2, MAPK activity in response to the pretreatment. Lane 3, MAPK
activity in response to the second treatment without pretreatment. Lane 4,
MAPK activity in response to the second treatment after a pretreatment.
