Raffinose Priming Improves Seed Vigor by ROS Scavenging, RAFS, and α-GAL Activity in Aged Waxy Corn

Agronomy
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are known to benefit plants under stress conditions; however, the role of exogenous raffinose in seed germination remains poorly understood.

Capturing Early‐Stage Chilling Response in Field‐Grown Sorghum and Maize by Integrating Aerial Phenotyping and Metabolomic Signatures

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐season chilling limits sorghum establishment in temperate environments, yet the metabolic basis of this sensitivity remains poorly understood. We combined temporal spectral reflectance with untargeted metabolomics to characterize species and genotype‐level responses to early planting conditions.

Compilation and utilization of a sorghum transcriptome compendium for gene regulatory network analysis and crop trait engineering

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 4, May 2026.
SUMMARY Sorghum bicolor (Sorghum) is a drought and heat tolerant C4 grass crop used to produce grain, forage, biofuels, and other bioproducts. Genetic improvement of sorghum hybrid crops is aided by a large and diverse germplasm, sorghum's diploid inbreeding genetics, and a relatively small genome that has facilitated genomic research. Over the past 20

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Understanding the Significance of Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Seed Physiology

Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology
Seed vigour and longevity are pivotal agronomic traits with profound implications for crop yield, food security, and the global economy. Seed longevity, often defined by the duration of seed viability, is crucial for effective gene bank management, influencing seed regeneration cycles and ensuring the long-term conservation of plant genetic resources ...

Variation in Seed‐Quality Traits of Chickpea and Their Correlation to Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides Concentrations [PDF]

Crop Science, 2017
Genetic resources with desired seed composition are needed to improve nutritional quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds. A germplasm collection of 171 chickpea genotypes (desi and kabuli types) was characterized for selected seed quality traits (thousand‐seed weight [TSW], starch, protein, and amylose) in one greenhouse and two field trials ...

Hesperidin and raffinose dietary supplementation enhances immune responses, antioxidant‐related gene expression, hematological parameters, and growth performance in juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the individual and combined effects of two dietary immunomodulators, raffinose and hesperidin, on multiple physiological parameters in common carp (Cyprinus carpio), including growth performance, feed efficiency, hematological indices, serum immunological markers, and the expression of genes related to antioxidant capacity.

Decoding plant defense signaling using the defenseless mutant

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1141-1156, April 2026.
Summary Can plants live without defenses? Mutant analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana has identified numerous regulators of biotic, abiotic, and hormone‐based defenses, but the redundancy among separate defense pathways remains unexplored. We constructed an Arabidopsis mutant, defenseless, lacking six canonical defense pathways using abi1‐1 (abscisic acid),
