The aim of this study was to compare the accumulation of soluble carbohydrates in embryos of two lupin species: cultivated Lupinus luteus (cv. Juno) and wild L. pilosus, developing on plants grown under normal soil humidity and soil drought. All analysed

Genetic Analysis of the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Common Bean [PDF]
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a nutritionally complete food, but contains antinutritional compounds that reduce digestibility. One group of compounds includes the raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) (raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose), which are partly responsible for flatulence after beans are eaten.

Analysis of the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharide Pathway in Pea Seeds with Contrasting Carbohydrate Composition [PDF]
AbstractRaffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are synthesized by a set of galactosyltransferases, which sequentially add galactose units from galactinol to sucrose. The accumulation of RFOs was studied in maturing seeds of two pea (Pisum sativum) lines with contrasting RFO composition.

Changes in the accumulation of two types of α-D-galactosides: raffinose family oligosaccharides and galactosyl pinitols were compared with changes in the activities of galactosyltransferases during winter vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) seed development and ...

Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are nutritious and confer numerous health benefits. However, they are also high raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) and antinutrients.

Seeds of field bean cv. Nadwiślański harvested in 1980, 1986 and 1992 were studied. Results of investigations showed that the four analysed sugars (saccharine, verbascose, raffinose and stachyose) made up from 60.1 mg of 1 g dry matter of seeds harvested

Biochemical and nutritional characterization of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) cultivars
Thirty nationally released chickpea cultivars were evaluated for carbohydrate composition, soluble proteins, total lipids and anti-nutritional factors such as phenolic compounds, tannins, bound fructose of sucrose and raffinose family oligosaccharides ...

myo-Inositol and sucrose concentrations affect the accumulation of raffinose family oligosaccharides in seeds [PDF]
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) fulfil multiple functions in plants. In seeds, they possibly protect cellular structures during desiccation and constitute carbon reserves for early germination. Their biosynthesis proceeds by the transfer of galactose units from galactinol to sucrose.
