Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and relates to a Jerusalem artichoke fructan exohydrolase gene and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Plant fructans are mainly carbohydrates composed of multiple fructosyl groups connected by glycosidic bonds. Although fructans can be found in 15% of angiosperms, the content of fructans in plants is generally low, only in the tubers of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus); chicory (Cichorium intybus), burdock (Arctium lappal) and chicken Roots of footgrass (Dactylis glomeratus); bulbs of lilies (Lilium brownii) and onions (Allium cepa); tissues of a few plants such as stems and leaves of ryegrass (Lolium perenne), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and wheat (Triticum aestivum) Relatively high levels in medium (Ritsema and Smeekens 2003a; Van Laere and Van Den Ende 2002).
[0003] Sucrose is a precursor for fructan synthesis (Van Laere and Van Den Ende 2002). There are mainly tw...
