Expression of Oryza sativa galactinol synthase gene in maize (Zea may L.) [PDF]

, 2019
Galactinol synthase (GolS) is a key biological catalyst for the synthesis of the raffinose oligosaccharides (RFOs) which play important roles in abiotic stress adaptation of plants, especially drought tolerance.

Multi‐environment evaluation of raffinose‐family oligosaccharide content in diverse dry bean varieties and their reduction upon canning

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 3, Page 1904-1913, February 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The substantial amount of raffinose family oligosaccharide (RFO) in dry beans causes flatulence and digestive discomfort, limiting the appeal of dry bean food products. Substantial variation exists in RFO content among dry bean varieties, and various food processing steps such as soaking and canning are known to reduce RFO levels ...

Heterologous Expression of the Transcription Factor EsNAC1 in Arabidopsis Enhances Abiotic Stress Resistance and Retards Growth by Regulating the Expression of Different Target Genes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Heterologous expression of a transcription factor (TF) gene in a related species is a useful method for crop breeding and the identification of gene function. The differences in phenotype and target gene expression between HE lines (with the heterologous

Role of Altered Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways in Major Tuber Crops Under Drought Stress

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress poses a significant challenge to growth and productivity of major tuber crops, particularly cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.). These crops are among the most widely cultivated tubers globally and play a critical role in food and nutritional security ...

Metabolo‐Transcriptomics Analyses Reveal Alfalfa Adaptation to Combined Saline‐Alkali and Low‐Temperature Stress in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 504-519, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is known as the ‘King of Forage’ because of its high protein content and excellent palatability. Alfalfa productivity is adversely affected in cold regions with saline‐alkali soils. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of alfalfa to combined saline‐alkali and low‐temperature stress under field conditions

Evolutionary diversification of galactinol synthases in Rosaceae: adaptive roles of galactinol and raffinose during apple bud dormancy

, 2018
International audienceGalactinol synthase (GolS) is a key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), which play roles in carbon storage, signal transduction, and osmoprotection.

Genes expressed in grapevine leaves reveal latent wood infection by the fungal pathogen Neofusicoccum parvum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Some pathogenic species of the Botryosphaeriaceae have a latent phase, colonizing woody tissues while perennial hosts show no apparent symptoms until conditions for disease development become favorable.

Transcriptional Analysis and Genome‐Wide Identification of HA, FRO, and IRT Gene Families Reveal Key Regulators in Pear Seedlings to Short‐Term Iron Deficiency Stress

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant photosynthesis and human health. Pear represents a widely consumed fruit for human Fe intake, yet its yield and quality are frequently challenged by Fe deficiency (FD) stress. Despite the prevalence of FD stress in agricultural production under generally alkaline and calcareous conditions, pear

Unraveling mannan biosynthesis in poplar and spruce: functional characterization of Cellulose Synthase‐Like family A (CSLA) genes

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 282-298, January 2026.
Summary Hemicelluloses are key chemical constituents of plant cell walls, influencing structure, strength, and interactions between cellulose and lignin. While xylan has been widely studied and shown to affect cell wall integrity, the function of mannan remains largely unexplored.
