Quantification of amylose, amylopectin, and β-glucan in search for genes controlling the three major quality traits in barley by genome-wide association studies [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for amylose, amylopectin and β-glucan concentration in a collection of 254 European spring barley varieties allowed to identify 20, 17, and 21 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers, respectively, associated with these important grain quality traits.

Barley β-glucans: a new method for extraction and purification [PDF]
, 2022 Barley β-glucans are non-starchy polysaccharides that are composed of linear chains of β-D-(1→3) and β-D-(1→4) linked glucose residues. They comprise three (cellotriosyl) or four (cellotetraosyl) consecutive β-D-(1→4) bonded glucose units mutually ...

β-Glucan-Induced IL-10 Secretion by Monocytes Triggers Porcine NK Cell Cytotoxicity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides present in cell walls of fungi, yeast, bacteria, cereals, seaweed, and algae. These microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) possess immunomodulatory properties.

β-Glucan fragmentation by microfluidization and TNF-α-immunostimulating activity of fragmented β-glucans. [PDF]
HeliyonFragmentation of β-glucans secreted by the fungus Ophiocordyceps dipterigena BCC 2073 achieved by microfluidization was investigated. The degree of β-glucan fragmentation was evaluated based on the average number of chain scissions (α).
