Fructan biosynthesis gene expression upon cold acclimation in orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.)

Grassland Research
Background Fructan content and flux in temperate forages can benefit the grasses through increased cold hardiness, increased drought tolerance, and improved forage quality.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Profiling of Chicory Roots Provide Insights Into Laticifer Development and Specialized Metabolism. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Chicory roots produce inulin, a dietary fiber, as well as large quantities of bitter sesquiterpene lactones (STLs), which have valuable biological activities. In an effort to understand the compartmentalization of metabolism within chicory roots and the molecular basis of the development of laticifers that produce the chicory latex, we ...

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) Production by Microorganisms with Fructosyltransferase Activity

Fermentation, 2023
Fructans are fructose-based polymers, defined as fructooligosaccharides (FOS), when they possess a short chain. These molecules are highly appreciated in the food and pharmaceutical international market and have an increasing demand worldwide, mainly for

Transforming a Fructan:Fructan 6G-Fructosyltransferase from Perennial Ryegrass into a Sucrose:Sucrose 1-Fructosyltransferase   [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2008
AbstractFructosyltransferases (FTs) synthesize fructans, fructose polymers accumulating in economically important cool-season grasses and cereals. FTs might be crucial for plant survival under stress conditions in species in which fructans represent the major form of reserve carbohydrate, such as perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne). Two FT types can be

Identification and structural basis of an enzyme that degrades oligosaccharides in caramel

Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2023
Cooking with fire produces foods containing carbohydrates that are not naturally occurring, such as α-d-fructofuranoside found in caramel. Each of the hundreds of compounds produced by caramelization reactions is considered to possess its own ...

The differential expression of the two key genes involved in fructan biosynthetic pathway in artichoke vs. wild cardoon improves inulin-type fructans

Biologia Plantarum, 2023
The artichoke (Cynara cardunculus subsp. scolymus) is an intriguing source of indigestible sugar polymers such as inulin-type fructans. Artichoke represents an important component of a traditional Mediterranean diet and its edible parts are a good source

Simultaneous Content Determination of Mono-, Di-, and Fructo-oligosaccharides in Citrus Fruit Juices Using an FTIR-PLS Method Based on Selected Absorption Bands. [PDF]

Int J Food Sci
A quantification method was developed to determine the sugar components, either following addition or enzymatic treatment, in citrus fruit juices containing additional fructo‐oligosaccharides using midinfrared spectroscopy. For the quantification, we compared the results obtained by applying the simultaneous equation method, which uses very little ...

The large subunit determines catalytic specificity of barley sucrose:fructan 6‐fructosyltransferase and fescue sucrose:sucrose 1‐fructosyltransferase [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2004
Plant fructosyltransferases are highly homologous in primary sequence and typically consist of two subunits but catalyze widely different reactions. Using functional expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris, we show that the substrate specificity of festuca sucrose:sucrose 1‐β‐d‐fructosyltransferase (1‐SST) and barley sucrose:fructan 6‐β‐d ...

Microbial fructosyltransferases and the role of fructans [PDF]

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2009
Microbial fructosyltransferases are polymerases that are involved in microbial fructan (levan, inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide) biosynthesis. Structurally, microbial fructosyltransferase proteins share the catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolases 68 family and are grouped in seven phylogenetically related clusters. Fructosyltransferase-encoding genes
