Sweet immunity : inulin boosts resistance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) against grey mold (Botrytis cinerea) in an ethylene-dependent manner [PDF]
, 2019 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 ...

Fructan Content and Fructosyltransferase Activity during Wheat Seed Growth [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1987 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.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of levansucrase (LsdA) from Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus SRT4 [PDF]
, 2004 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.

An acceptor-substrate binding site determining glycosyl transfer emerges from mutant analysis of a plant vacuolar invertase and a fructosyltransferase [PDF]
, 2018 Glycoside hydrolase family 32 (GH32) harbors hydrolyzing and transglycosylating enzymes that are highly homologous in their primary structure. Eight amino acids dispersed along the sequence correlated with either hydrolase or glycosyltransferase activity.

Evaluation of cross-linked aggregates from purified Bacillus subtilis levansucrase mutants for transfructosylation reactions [PDF]
, 2009 BACKGROUND: Increasing attention has been focused on inulin and levan-type oligosaccharides, including fructosyl-xylosides and other fructosides due to their nutraceutical properties.
