Genome-Wide Identification, Evolutionary and Expression Analyses of the GALACTINOL SYNTHASE Gene Family in Rapeseed and Tobacco [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Galactinol synthase (GolS) is a key enzyme in raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO) biosynthesis. The finding that GolS accumulates in plants exposed to abiotic stresses indicates RFOs function in environmental adaptation.

Overexpression of an Arabidopsis thaliana galactinol synthase gene improves drought tolerance in transgenic rice and increased grain yield in the field [PDF]

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2017
Drought stress has often caused significant decreases in crop production which could be associated with global warming. Enhancing drought tolerance without a grain yield penalty has been a great challenge in crop improvement.

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 ...

Galactinol Is a Signaling Component of the Induced Systemic Resistance Caused by Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 Root Colonization

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2008
Root colonization by Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 in cucumber elicited an induced systemic resistance (ISR) against Corynespora cassiicola. In order to gain insight into O6-mediated ISR, a suppressive subtractive hybridization technique was applied and ...

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

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 ...

Raffinose family oligosaccharides act as galactose stores in seeds and are required for rapid germination of Arabidopsis in the dark

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Raffinose synthase 5 (AtRS5, At5g40390) was characterized from Arabidopsis as a recombinant enzyme. It has a far higher affinity for the substrates galactinol and sucrose than any other raffinose synthase previously reported.

Response of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to Abrupt Chilling as Reflected by Changes in Freezing Tolerance and Soluble Sugars

Agronomy, 2020
Abrupt-chilling events threaten the survival of alfalfa plants, the ability to cope with such condition should be considered during cultivar selection in the production.

Efficient Genetic Transformation of Rice for CRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Genome-Editing and Stable Overexpression Studies: A Case Study on Rice Lipase 1 and Galactinol Synthase Encoding Genes

Agronomy, 2022
Rice is a staple food crop for almost half of the world’s population, especially in the developing countries of Asia and Africa. It is widely grown in different climatic conditions, depending on the quality of the water, soil, and genetic makeup of the ...

Molecular cloning of a seed specific multifunctional RFO synthase/ galactosylhydrolase in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Stachyose is among the raffinose family oligosaccharides one of the major water-soluble carbohydrates next to sucrose in seeds of a number of plant species. Especially in leguminous seeds, e.g. chickpea, stachyose is reported as the major component.
