Fructan metabolism in leaves of Lolium rigidum Gaudin [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1991
summaryAccumulation of water‐soluble carbohydrates (WSC) in leaves of intact seedlings of annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaudin cv. Wimmera) was studied using a novel model system. The roots and leaf bases of intact seedlings, grown in nutrient solution, were cooled to 5°C to reduce sink activity and the production of photosynthates was enhanced by ...

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

Multifunctional fructans and raffinose family oligosaccharides

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Fructans and Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFOs) are the two most important classes of water soluble carbohydrates in plants. Recent progress is summarized on their metabolism (and regulation) and on their functions in plants and in food (prebiotics,

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.

Agave amica a potential model for the study of agavins metabolism

Scientific Reports, 2023
Fructans found in agave are called agavins, highly branched neo-fructans. They are essential on the yield and quality of Tequila production. The need for agave specimens with higher accumulation of agavins became essential before the growing demand of ...

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.

Fructokinase, Fructans, Intestinal Permeability, and Metabolic Syndrome: An Equine Connection? [PDF]

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2013
Fructose is a simple sugar present in honey and fruit, but can also exist as a polymer (fructans) in pasture grasses. Mammals are unable to metabolize fructans, but certain gram positive bacteria contain fructanases and can convert fructans to fructose in the gut.
