Fructan metabolism and changes in fructan composition during cold acclimation in perennial ryegrass [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 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 ...

Characterization of Fructan Metabolism During Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Germination [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The inulin-type fructans in Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers exhibit different degrees of polymerization and are critical for germination. We aimed to characterize the sugar metabolism dynamics in the tubers without bud eyes or shoots

Complex carbohydrate utilization by gut bacteria modulates host food consumption [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe gut microbiota interacts with dietary nutrients and can modify host feeding behavior, but underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Gut bacteria digest complex carbohydrates that the host cannot digest and liberate metabolites that serve as ...
