The discovery of compositional variation for the raffinose family of oligosaccharides in pea seeds

Seed Science Research, 1999
AbstractThe raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO) is present in relatively high levels in grain legume seeds. They are considered to be antinutritional compounds because they are, at least in part, believed to be responsible for causing flatulence in humans, which is the single most important factor in deterring people from including more legume ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout of Galactinol Synthase-Encoding Genes Reduces Raffinose Family Oligosaccharide Levels in Soybean Seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are major soluble carbohydrates in soybean seeds that cannot be digested by human and other monogastric animals. Hence, a major goal is to reduce RFO levels to improve the nutritional quality of soybean.

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3848-3870, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...

Metabolism of the Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Leaves of Ajuga reptans L. (Inter- and Intracellular Compartmentation) [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
We recently suggested that leaves of the frost-hardy species Ajuga reptans L. (Lamiaceace) contain two pools of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO): a large long-term storage pool in the mesophyll, possibly also involved in frost resistance, and a transport pool in the phloem (M.

The GmGT‐2F, a trihelix transcription factor, regulates seed oil content by directly activating GmAGAL transcription in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1794-1814, June 2026.
In soybean, the trihelix transcription factor GmGT‐2F positively regulates the expression of the α‐galactosidase gene GmAGAL, thereby modulating seed oil content. The cyclophilin GmCYP2 interacts with GmGT‐2F and suppresses GmAGAL activation. Haplotype diversity analysis of GmGT‐2F, GmCYP2, and GmAGAL identified favorable haplotype combinations ...

Phloem loading in Verbascum phoeniceum L. depends on the synthesis of raffinose-family oligosaccharides [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Phloem loading is the initial step in photoassimilate export and the one that creates the driving force for mass flow. It has been proposed that loading occurs symplastically in species that translocate carbohydrate primarily as raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs).

Decoding chilling temperature adaptation in bermudagrass: Temporal transcriptomic and metabolomic dynamics in tolerant and sensitive genotypes

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Chilling tolerance, expressed as late‐season green color retention, is a critical trait for extending the utility of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) into the southern states. While previous studies have focused on rapid responses within 12–24 h of cold exposure, the temporal progression of molecular and metabolic adjustments over several days ...

Galactinol synthase transcriptional profile in two genotypes of Coffea canephora with contrasting tolerance to drought

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2015
Increased synthesis of galactinol and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) has been reported in vegetative tissues in response to a range of abiotic stresses.

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 351-367, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

A Fusarium sacchari Glycoside Hydrolase 12 Protein FsEG1 Is a Major Virulence Factor During Sugarcane Infection and Confers Resistance to Pokkah Boeng Disease via the HIGS Strategy

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3458-3478, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pokkah Boeng disease (PBD), caused by Fusarium sacchari, has severely impacted the yield and quality of sugarcane, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the molecular interaction mechanisms between F. sacchari and sugarcane remain poorly understood.
