Cloning, gene mapping, and functional analysis of a fructan 1-exohydrolase (1-FEH) from Lolium perenne implicated in fructan synthesis rather than in fructan mobilization [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2007
Fructans, which are beta-(2,1) and/or beta-(2,6) linked polymers of fructose, are important storage carbohydrates in many plants. They are mobilized via fructan exohydrolases (FEHs). The cloning, mapping, and functional analysis of the first 1-FEH (EC 3.2.1.153) from Lolium perenne L. var. Bravo is described here. By screening a perennial ryegrass cDNA

Wheat genotypic variation in dynamic fluxes of WSC components in different stem segments under drought during grain filling

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
In wheat, stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), composed mainly of fructans, are the major carbon sources for grain filling during periods of decreasing photosynthesis or under drought stress after anthesis.

Unraveling the Difference between Invertases and Fructan Exohydrolases: A Single Amino Acid (Asp-239) Substitution Transforms Arabidopsis Cell Wall Invertase1 into a Fructan 1-Exohydrolase

Plant Physiology, 2007
Plant cell wall invertases and fructan exohydrolases (FEHs) are very closely related enzymes at the molecular and structural level (family 32 of glycoside hydrolases), but they are functionally different and are believed to fulfill distinct roles in plants.

The Arabidopsis thaliana N‐recognin E3 ligase PROTEOLYSIS1 influences the immune response

Plant Direct, Volume 3, Issue 12, December 2019., 2019
Abstract N‐degron pathways of ubiquitin‐mediated proteolysis (formerly known as the N‐end rule pathway) control the stability of substrate proteins dependent on the amino‐terminal (Nt) residue. Unlike yeast or mammalian N‐recognin E3 ligases, which each recognize several different classes of Nt residues, in Arabidopsis thaliana, N‐recognin functions of

Uncovering mechanisms of rubber biosynthesis in Taraxacum koksaghyz – role of cis‐prenyltransferase‐like 1 protein

The Plant Journal, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 591-609, November 2019., 2019
Summary The Russian dandelion Taraxacum koksaghyz synthesizes considerable amounts of high‐molecular‐weight rubber in its roots. The characterization of factors that participate in natural rubber biosynthesis is fundamental for the establishment of T. koksaghyz as a rubber crop. The cis‐1,4‐isoprene polymers are stored in rubber particles.

Shifts in gene expression profiles are associated with weak and strong Crassulacean acid metabolism

American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 587-601, March 2018., 2018
Premise of the Study The relative ease of high throughput sequencing is facilitating comprehensive phylogenomic and gene expression studies, even for nonmodel groups. To date, however, these two approaches have not been merged; while phylogenomic methods might use transcriptome sequences to resolve relationships, assessment of gene expression patterns ...

Development of rubber‐enriched dandelion varieties by metabolic engineering of the inulin pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 740-753, June 2017., 2017
Summary Natural rubber (NR) is an important raw material for a large number of industrial products. The primary source of NR is the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, but increased worldwide demand means that alternative sustainable sources are urgently required.

Purification, cloning and functional characterization of a fructan 6-exohydrolase from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2005
Fructans, beta2-1 and/or beta2-6 linked polymers of fructose, are produced by fructosyltransferases (FTs) from sucrose. They are important storage carbohydrates in many plants. Fructan reserves, widely distributed in plants, are believed to be mobilized via fructan exohydrolases (FEHs).

Isolation and Structural Analysis In Vivo of Newly Synthesized Fructooligosaccharides in Onion Bulbs Tissues (Allium cepa L.) during Storage

International Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Fructooligosaccharides are involved in physiological activities and quality attributes of onion bulbs. This work describes structures of newly synthesized oligosaccharides formed by fructose moieties in onion bulb tissues during storage. Onion bulbs were stored for four weeks at 10 °C.
