The expression of two genes encoding xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs),Cs-XTH1andCs-XTH3, was upregulated during the onset of cucumber somatic embryogenesis. As a means of characterising the developmental regulation of these genes, the activity of the respective upstream regulatory regions was investigated in seedlings and somatic embryos ofArabidopsis thalianaandCucumis sativus. GUS assays revealed that both genes are under developmental control. In addition, elevated promoter activity was found in the tension-bearing regions of the plant and in response to touch and wounding, which is consistent with the existence of numerous stress-relatedciselements in the 5′-regulatory regions. In vivo xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET) action assays were performed to gain an overview on the role of XTHs during somatic embryogenesis. The highest XET action was observed in the external cell layers of somatic embryos in the cotyledonary region and in the presumptive region of peg formation. Based on the results, we propose a dual mechanism (one developmental and the second adaptive) for the regulation ofCs-XTH1andCs-XTH3activity wherein the developmental pattern can be modified by mechanical stimuli.
