Stem carbohydrate dynamics and expression of genes involved in fructan accumulation and remobilization during grain growth in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes with contrasting tolerance to water stress. [PDF]
The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) and water stress tolerance are scarcely known.

Fructosyltransferases in plants: Structure, function and application: A review
Fructosyltransferases (FTs) are an important group of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of fructans in some plants and in a large number of microorganisms.

Streptococcus mutansfructosyltransferase interactions with glucans [PDF]
Streptococcus mutans utilizes sucrose to synthesize glucans by glucosyltransferase and fructans by fructosyltransferase (FTF). Antibodies raised against a recombinant FTF were used to study S. mutans FTF secretion. Low amounts of cell-free FTF were found in culture of S.

Genetic regulation of fructosyltransferase in Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Streptococcus mutans possesses several extracellular sucrose-metabolizing enzymes which have been implicated as important virulence factors in dental caries. This study was initiated to investigate the genetic regulation of one of these enzymes, the extracellular fructosyltransferase (Ftf).

Synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides using grape must and sucrose as raw materials [PDF]
Grape must market has been rising and there is an increasing interest to use it as a natural replacement for traditional sugars. Food or beverages with prebiotic compounds, including fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), emerge as an alternative for the new ...

Synthesis of several fructo-oligosaccharides by asparagus fructosyltransferases. [PDF]
Nine fructo-oligosaccharides, synthesized in vitro from sucrose by an enzyme preparation from asparagus roots, were isolated and their structures were elucidated to be 1F (1-β-fructo-furanosyl)n sucrose [n=1 (1-kestose), 2 (nystose) and 3], 6G (1-β-fructofuranosyl)n, sucrose [n=1 (neokestose), 2 and 3] and 1F (1-β-fructofuranosyl)m 6G (1-β ...

Simultaneous Knockout of Tk1-SST and Tk1-FFT via CRISPR/Cas9 Enhances the Natural Rubber Accumulation in Taraxacum kok-saghyz. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Taraxacum kok‐saghyz (TKS) synthesises natural rubber (NR) and inulin using sucrose as a carbon source. However, molecular mechanisms regulating inulin and NR accumulation remain largely unclear. Here, we report the generation of double‐gene homozygous mutants, 1‐sst1‐fft, by simultaneously knocking out two key genes responsible for inulin ...

Abstract Recent RNA sequencing studies have given us a deeper insight into the cariogenic impact of carbohydrate sources in the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, the principal microbial agent in dental caries etiopathogenesis. The process of dental caries development is facilitated by the ability of this bacterium to ferment some carbohydrates into ...
