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.

Effect of Germination and Subsequent Fermentation Period on the Functional, Color, and Antinutrients of Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan) Flour and Its Structural Parts

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study investigates the impact of germination and fermentation periods (24, 48, and 72 h) on the quality attributes of pigeon pea flour and its structural parts. Germination and fermentation of pigeon pea possess good properties that are suitable for inclusion in gluten‐free, as well as in the development of ready‐to‐use food formulations.

Functional Identification of Arabidopsis ATSIP2 (At3g57520) as an Alkaline α-Galactosidase with a Substrate Specificity for Raffinose and an Apparent Sink-Specific Expression Pattern [PDF]

, 2017
Arabidopsis ATSIP2 has recently been suggested to be a raffinose synthase gene. However, it has high amino acid identity to functionally characterized alkaline α-galactosidases from Cucumis melo and Zea mays.

The effect of selected synbiotics on microbial composition and short-chain Fatty Acid production in a model system of the human colon. [PDF]

, 2012
Prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics can be used to modulate both the composition and activity of the gut microbiota and thereby potentially affecting host health beneficially.

Fermentation of faba bean flour as a pre-treatment in high-moisture extrusion for simultaneous fortification of vitamin B12 and reduction of raffinose oligosaccharides in meat analogues

Future Foods
Faba bean is a promising ingredient for the production of meat analogues using high-moisture extrusion; however, the presence of antinutrients poses a challenge to its use. Moreover, the deficiency of vitamin B12 in plant-based meat analogues underscores

Chain Elongation of raffinose in pea seeds. Isolation, characterization, and molecular cloning of mutifunctional enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of stachyose and verbascose.

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2002
Raffinose oligosaccharides are major soluble carbohydrates in seeds and other tissues of plants. Their biosynthesis proceeds by stepwise addition of galactose units to sucrose, which are provided by the unusual donor galactinol (O-alpha-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->1)-l-myo-inositol).

Gene regulatory network analysis of silver birch reveals the ancestral state of secondary cell wall biosynthesis in core eudicots

New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2059-2074, June 2025.
Summary The compact genome and lack of recent whole‐genome multiplication (WGM) events make the boreal pioneer tree silver birch (Betula pendula) a promising model for primary and secondary cell wall (PCW and SCW) regulation in forest trees. Here, we constructed regulatory networks through combined co‐expression and promoter motif analysis and carried ...

Trade‐Offs Between Growth, Longevity, and Storage Carbohydrates in Herbs and Shrubs: Evidence for Active Carbon Allocation Strategies

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 4505-4517, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Plants store nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) like starch, fructans and soluble sugars to support metabolism, stress tolerance and defence during low photosynthesis, ultimately influencing their growth and longevity. However, the relationship between NSC composition and growth or persistence in wild plants remains unclear.
