Regeneration ability and genetic transformation of root type chicory (Cichorium intybus var. sativum) [PDF]
To develop an efficient protocol for shoot regeneration of root chicory (Cichorium intybus var. sativum), some factors, including different concentrations of plant growth regulators in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, type of explants and genotypes were ...

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of levansucrase (LsdA) from Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 [PDF]
The endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 secretes a constitutively expressed levansucrase (LsdA; EC 2.4.1.10), which converts sucrose to fructo-oligosaccharides and levan.

Fructan Content and Fructosyltransferase Activity during Wheat Seed Growth [PDF]
The objective of this research was to determine the changes in fructan content and the activity of fructosyltransferases during the growth of wheat seeds (Triticum aestivum L. Thell, cv Caldwell). The total fructan content of the seeds decreased significantly during seed growth.

Sweet immunity : inulin boosts resistance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) against grey mold (Botrytis cinerea) in an ethylene-dependent manner [PDF]
The concept of Sweet Immunity postulates that sugar metabolism and signaling influence plant immune networks. In this study, we tested the potential of commercially available inulin-type fructans to limit disease symptoms caused by Botrytis cinerea in ...
