Evaluating the role of the raffinose family of oligosaccharides in hybrid poplar
The raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFO) function as transport carbohydrates in the phloem, storage compounds in sink tissues, and as putative metabolic agents that combat plant stresses. Research on the RFO pathway has focused on seed biology and plants that transport raffinose as their prima...
