Fructan and hormone connections [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Plants rely on “reserve” (stored) carbon (C) for growth and survival when newly synthesized C becomes limited. Besides a classic yet recalcitrant C reserve starch, fructans, a class of sucrose-derived soluble fructosyl-oligosaccharides, represent a major store of C in many temperate plant species including the economically important Asteraceae and ...

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Effect of terminal drought stress on accumulation and remobilization of soluble carbohydrates of internodes in two barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars [PDF]

Zīst/shināsī-i Giyāhī-i Īrān, 2020
In arid and semiarid regions such as Iran with terminal drought, crops may depend more on stem soluble carbohydrates reserves for grain filling than the current photosynthesis.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Intestinal IgA Regulates Expression of a Fructan Polysaccharide Utilization Locus in Colonizing Gut Commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

mBio, 2019
Gut-derived immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody secreted in the gut that shapes gut microbiota composition and functionality. However, most of the microbial antigens targeted by gut IgA remain unknown, and the functional effects of IgA ...

Exploring the microbiota–skin–brain axis: Chicory extract biotransformed into a postbiotic neurocosmetic enhancer of social and sensory experience

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Application of CHICORY EXTRACT by a consumer has the ability to evoke positive emotional responses in individuals who come into tactile contact with the treated skin. Abstract Objective Measuring the influence of cosmetic ingredients on the microbiota‐skin‐brain axis is a difficult challenge.

Fructans: Prebiotics and immunomodulators

Journal of Functional Foods, 2014
Fructans are natural fructose polymers that are used for their prebiotic and health improving properties in functional foods. Although the immunomodulatory effects of fructans on animal cells are known, their mode of action has only recently been unraveled.

Water availability shapes temporal patterns of extrafloral nectar secretion and ant visitation to a Neotropical legume

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drought duration affects ant–plant interactions: extrafloral nectar quality initially increases and subsequently declines, and ant interaction patterns closely track these nectar dynamics. Abstract Mutualistic plants use non‐structural sugar (NSC) to produce carbon‐based resources to reward partners.
