Fructan Structure and Metabolism in Overwintering Plants
In northern regions, annual and perennial overwintering plants such as wheat and temperate grasses accumulate fructan in vegetative tissues as an energy source.

Fructan metabolism and changes in fructan composition during cold acclimation in perennial ryegrass [PDF]
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) produces high levels of fructans as a mixture of oligomers with different degrees of polymerization (DP). The present study describes the analysis of the compositional changes in the full spectrum of fructan ...

Fructan content in most commonly consumed Slovenian foods and estimation of daily fructan consumption [PDF]
Fructans can be considered as part of the group of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). Short-chain fructans have a rapid fermentation rate and can thus worsen symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

Modified fructan accumulation through overexpression of wheat fructan biosynthesis pathway fusion genes Ta1SST:Ta6SFT [PDF]
Background Fructans are water-soluble carbohydrates that accumulate in wheat and are thought to contribute to a pool of stored carbon reserves used in grain filling and tolerance to abiotic stress.

Fructan metabolism in wheat under abiotic stress conditions [PDF]
Accumulation of fructan in different organs of wheat plants is important physiological factor to cope with different environmental stresses. Fructans are fructose based oligo- and polysaccharides derived from sucrose.

Achieving of high-diet-fiber barley via managing fructan hydrolysis
High fructan content in the grain of cereals is an important trait in agriculture such as environmental resilience and dietary fiber food production. To understand the mechanism in determining final grain fructan content and achieve high fructan cereal ...

Testing water-soluble carbohydrate QTL effects in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) by marker selection [PDF]
Water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) are an important factor determining the nutritional value of grass forage and development of genetic markers for selection of WSC traits in perennial ryegrass would benefit future breeding programmes.
