Bacterial fructans with a high degree of polymerisation cause a very large increase in
surface pressure of lipid monolayers at the air–water interface with a broad range of lipids, …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is the most important temperate forage grass species.
Unfortunately, the nutritional value of perennial ryegrass declines as maturity progresses, …

Fructan biosynthesis in primary leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Gerbel) was induced
by continuous illumination of excised leaves. No fructans were synthesized during the first …

A method for the production of oligosaccharides, which involves the cloning of a gene that
codes for an enzyme that is able to incorporate sucrose into an oligosaccharide. The method …

Fructans are a group of fructose-based oligo- and polysaccharides. They are proposed to
be involved in membrane protection of plants during dehydration. In accordance with this …

Fructans, a family of oligo- and polyfructoses, are implicated to play a drought-protecting role
in plants. Inulin-type fructan is able to preserve the membrane barrier during dehydration. …
