Quantitative Assessment of Soluble Carbohydrates in Two Panels of Pulses (Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum) Using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) and HPLC [PDF]

Foods
Pulses (edible dry seeds from legumes) are among the most important crops worldwide. These legumes contain a diverse range of carbohydrates, some of which, such as RFOs (raffinose family oligosaccharides), are considered antinutritional factors due to ...

Virus-Induced galactinol-sucrose galactosyltransferase 2 Silencing Delays Tomato Fruit Ripening [PDF]

Plants
Tomato fruit ripening is an elaborate genetic trait correlating with significant changes at physiological and biochemical levels. Sugar metabolism plays an important role in this highly orchestrated process and ultimately determines the quality and ...

Maize Relay Intercropping with Tobacco Enhances Soil Buffering Capacity and Maintains Yield Under Continuous Cropping [PDF]

Plants
A two-year field experiment was conducted in Tengchong, Yunnan, to evaluate the effects of tobacco monoculture (TM) and maize relay intercropping with tobacco (TIM) on subsequent tobacco growth and the rhizosphere microenvironment.

Suppression of certain intestinal microbiota metabolites may lead to gestational diabetes in mice fed a high-fat diet [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundWe aim to establish a gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mouse model with mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) in comparison with pregnant mice with normal blood glucose levels to investigate the role of intestinal microbiota in the development

Identification and Expression Analysis of the Genes Involved in the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides Pathway of Phaseolus vulgaris and Glycine max

Plants, 2021
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) play an important role in plants but are also considered to be antinutritional factors. A profound understanding of the galactinol and RFO biosynthetic gene families and the expression patterns of the individual ...

Metabolomic, photoprotective, and photosynthetic acclimatory responses to post‐flowering drought in sorghum

Plant Direct, 2023
Climate change is globally affecting rainfall patterns, necessitating the improvement of drought tolerance in crops. Sorghum bicolor is a relatively drought‐tolerant cereal.

VviRafS5 Is a Raffinose Synthase Involved in Cold Acclimation in Grapevine Woody Tissues

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The accumulation of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) is a hallmark of plant response to different abiotic stresses, including cold. The synthesis of galactinol, by galactinol synthases (GolS), and raffinose, by raffinose synthases (RafS), are ...

Aphid adaptation to cucurbits: sugars, cucurbitacin and phloem structure in resistant and susceptible melons

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Aphis gossypii, a strictly phloemophagaous aphid, colonize hundreds of plant families, and a group of clones formed a cucurbit-specialised host-race.

Transcriptional regulation of the raffinose family oligosaccharides pathway in Sorghum bicolor reveals potential roles in leaf sucrose transport and stem sucrose accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Bioenergy sorghum hybrids are being developed with enhanced drought tolerance and high levels of stem sugars. Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) contribute to plant environmental stress tolerance, sugar storage, transport, and signaling.
