We profiled the grain oligosaccharide content of 154 two-row spring barley genotypes and
quantified 27 compounds, mainly inulin-and neoseries-type fructans, showing differential …

Fructans are soluble carbohydrates with health benefits and possible roles in plant
adaptation. Fructan biosynthetic genes were isolated using comparative genomics and …

Fructans are naturally occurring plant polymers composed of fructose molecules.
Approximately 15% of flowering plant species contain fructans, including wheat (Triticum …

Fructans are prebiotics, with potentially beneficial effects on human health. This study aimed
to examine genetic variation in wheat grain fructan content using a simplified analytical …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare) grain development follows a series of defined morphological and
physiological stages and depends on the supply of assimilates (mainly sucrose) from the …

Fructans are soluble fructosyl‐oligosaccharides deposited in many cool‐season grass
species as a carbon reserve; they are synthesised by fructosyltransferases. In wheat and …

Fructans (fructo-oligosaccharides) are prebiotics that are thought to selectively promote the
growth of colonic bifidobacteria, thereby improving human gut health. Fructans are present …

Fructans are important biocompounds because of their health-promoting effects as dietary
fiber and prebiotics and also because of their harmful effects as fermentable …

Background Fructans are water-soluble carbohydrates that accumulate in wheat and are
thought to contribute to a pool of stored carbon reserves used in grain filling and tolerance to …

Lolium perenne cultivars with elevated levels of fructans in leaf blades (high sugar-content
grasses) have been developed to improve animal nutrition and reduce adverse …
