€Œ€This research aimed to characterize the tolerance to flooding and alterations in pectic andhemicellulose fractions from mesocotyl of maize tolerant to flooding when submitted to hypoxia.In order to characterize tolerance seeds from maize cultivars Saracura BRS-4154 and BR€107 tolerantand sensitive to low oxygen levels, respectively, were set to germinate. Plantlet survival was evaluatedduring five days after having been submitted to hypoxia. After fractionation with ammonium oxalate0.5% (w/v) and KOH 2M and 4M, Saracura BRS-4154 cell wall was obtained from mesocotyl seg-ments with different damage intensities caused by oxygen deficiency exposure. The cell wall fractionswere analyzed by gel filtration and gas chromatography, and also by Infrared Spectrum with FourrierTransformation (FTIR). The hypoxia period lasting three days or longer caused cell lysis and in ad-vanced stages plant death. The gelic profile from pectic, hemicellulose 2M and 4M fractions fromsamples with translucid and constriction zone showed the appearance of low molecular weight com-pounds, similar to glucose. The main neutral sugars in pectic and hemicellulose fractions were arabi-nose, xilose and mannose. The FTIR spectrum showed a gradual decrease in pectic substances frommesocotyl with normal to translucid and constriction appearance respectively.Index terms: pectic substances, hemicellulose.Tolerância ao alagamento e alteracies de parede celular em mesocotilo de milho durante hipoxiaResumo€Œ€Objetivou-se caracterizar a tolerância ao alagamento e alteracies nas fracies pOcticas ehemicelulosicas de mesocotilos de milho submetidos a hipoxia. Sementes de milho cultivar SaracuraBRS-4154 e BR€107, tolerante e sensivel a hipoxia, respectivamente, foram submetidas a germinacaoe a sobrevivŒncia das plântulas em condicies de hipoxia, foi avaliada durante cinco dias. O€material deparede celular, obtido de segmentos de mesocotilos da cultivar Saracura BRS-4154 com diferentesintensidades de danos causados por hipoxia, foi submetido a fracionamento com oxalato de amonio0,5% e KOH 2M e€4M. As€fracies de parede celular obtidas foram analisadas por cromatografia emgel, cromatografia gasosa e espectro de infravermelho com transformacao dos dados pela sOrie deFourrier (FTIR). Periodos de hipoxia superiores a trŒs dias causaram a lise celular (aparŒncia translœcida),e, em estAEdios mais avancados, a morte das plantas. O€perfil gOlico das fracies pOcticas, hemicelulose2M e 4M das amostras de mesocotilos translœcidos e com constricao apresentaram compostos de bai-xos pesos moleculares semelhantes a glicose. Os€principais acœcares neutros nas fracies pOcticas ehemicelulosicas foram arabinose, xilose e manose. O€espectro de FTIR mostrou um decrOscimo gradu-al nas substâncias pOcticas do mesocotilo com aparŒncia normal, para translœcido e constricao respec-tivamente.Termos para indexacao: substâncias pOcticas, hemicelulose.
