A simple and fast kinetic assay for the determination of fructan exohydrolase activity in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Despite the fact that fructans are the main constituent of water-soluble carbohydrates in forage grasses and cereal crops of temperate climates, little knowledge is available on the regulation of the enzymes involved in fructan metabolism.

A Fructan Exohydrolase from Maize Degrades Both Inulin and Levan and Co-Exists with 1-Kestotriose in Maize. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Enzymes with fructan exohydrolase (FEH) activity are present not only in fructan-synthesizing species but also in non-fructan plants. This has led to speculation about their functions in non-fructan species. Here, a cell wall invertase-related Zm-6&1-FEH2 with no “classical” invertase motif was identified in maize. Following heterologous expression

Correlation between Fructan Exohydrolase Activity and the Quality of Helianthus tuberosus L. Tubers [PDF]
Agronomy, 2018 Jerusalem artichoke tubers have diverse applications in the food industry as well as in biotechnology. Their suitability depends mostly on the inulin content.

Evidence for Light and Tissue Specific Regulation of Genes Involved in Fructan Metabolism in Agave tequilana [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Plant Glycoside Hydrolase Family 32 (PGHF32) contains the fructosyltransferases and fructan exohydrolase enzymes responsible for fructan metabolism, in addition to closely related vacuolar and cell wall acid invertases.

Determination of fructan exohydrolase activity in the crude extracts of plants
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2014 Background: The roots of chicory and the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke are used for the production of inulin. However, a quality of tubers and roots, i.e.

Wheat Water-Soluble Carbohydrate Remobilisation under Water Deficit by 1-FEH w3 [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Fructan 1-exohydrolase (1-FEH) is one of the major enzymes in water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) remobilisation for grains in wheat. We investigated the functional role of 1-FEH w1, w2, and w3 isoforms in WSC remobilisation under post-anthesis water ...
