Induction of 1-FEH in mature chicory roots appears to be related to low temperatures rather than to leaf damage. [PDF]
Large‐scale inulin production from chicory roots (Cichorium intybus L.) is hampered by the induction of 1‐FEH activity (fructan 1‐exohydrolase) and concomitant fructose production in autumn, coincident with a period with low night temperatures that cause leaf damage. To understand whether leaf damage per se is sufficient for 1‐FEH induction and fructan
