Regulation of Seed Vigor by Manipulation of Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Maize and Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Molecular Plant, 2017 Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) accumulate in seeds during maturation desiccation in many plant species. However, it remains unclear whether RFOs have a role in establishing seed vigor. GALACTINOL SYNTHASE (GOLS), RAFFINOSE SYNTHASE (RS), and STACHYOSE SYNTHASE (STS) are the enzymes responsible for RFO biosynthesis in plants.

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs): role in seed vigor and longevity. [PDF]
Biosci Rep, 2022 Abstract Seed vigor and longevity are important agronomic attributes, as they are essentially associated with crop yield and thus the global economy. Seed longevity is a measure of seed viability and the most essential property in gene bank management since it affects regeneration of seed recycling. Reduced seed life or storability is

Delayed hydrolysis of Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFO) affects critical germination of chickpeas. [PDF]
3 Biotech, 2021 Seed raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are converted into sucrose and galactose by α-galactosidase during germination. Seed osmopriming with a low concentration of potassium nitrate (KNO3) induces early and synchronized germination by activating hydrolases.

Significance of Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFOs) metabolism in plants. [PDF]
Adv Biotechnol (Singap)AbstractRaffinose Family Oligosaccharides (RFOs) are a kind of polysaccharide containing D-galactose, and they widely exist in higher plants. Synthesis of RFOs begins with galactinol synthase (GolS; EC 2.4.1.123) to convert myo-inositol into galactinol.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 In developing soybean seeds, carbon is partitioned between oil, protein and carbohydrates. Here, we demonstrate that suppression of lipase-mediated turnover of triacylglycerols (TAG) during late seed development increases fatty acid content and decreases

Multiplex genome editing targeting soybean with ultra-low anti-nutritive oligosaccharides
Crop Journal, 2023 Soybean is the primary source of plant protein for humans. Owing to the indigestibility of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO), raffinose and stachyose are considered anti-nutritive factors in soybean seeds.

Pea-Derived Raffinose-Family Oligosaccharides as a Novel Ingredient to Accelerate Sour Beer Production. [PDF]
J Agric Food ChemThis study investigated raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) derived from pulses as selective carbon sources for sour beer production. Fourteen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened for growth in media supplemented with RFOs. Furthermore, the influence of ethanol and isomerized α-acids on the bacterial growth was investigated.

Water Deficit Effects on Raffinose Family Oligosaccharide Metabolism in Coleus [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1999 AbstractVariegated coleus (Coleus blumei Benth.) plants were exposed to a restricted water supply for 21 d. The relative water content in leaf tissues was reduced from 80% (control) to 60% (drought-stressed). Under drought conditions, the stomatal conductance and leaf photosynthetic rate were reduced.

Genome-wide association mapping of seed oligosaccharides in chickpea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the major pulse crops, rich in protein, and widely consumed all over the world. Most legumes, including chickpeas, possess noticeable amounts of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in their seeds.
