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 ...

A fructan: fructan fructosyltransferase activity from Lolium rigidum [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1997 SUMMARYFructan: fructan fructosyltransferase (FFT) activity was purified about 300‐fold from leaves of Lolium rigidum Gaudin by a combination of affinity chromatography, gel filtration, anion exchange and isoelectric focusing. The FFT activity was free of sucrose: sucrose fructosyltransferase and invertase activities.

Biotechnology Advances, 2018 Saline and hypersaline environments make up the largest ecosystem on earth and the organisms living in such water-restricted environments have developed unique ways to cope with high salinity. As such these organisms not only carry significant industrial potential in a world where freshwater supplies are rapidly diminishing, but they also shed light ...
