| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In autumn, winter wheat accumulates fructan, which is a kind of fructose-based oligo- and polysaccharide with high hydrophilicity, and the content of fructan in wheat is associated with both freezing tolerance and snow mold resistance. Recently, we cloned several kinds of genes encoding FEH (fructan exohydrolase) from wheat, and analyses of their substrate specificities revealed that various FEHs, including 1-FEH, 6-FEH, 6-KEH (kestose exohydrolase) and 6&1-FEH, exist in wheat plants. Analysis of gene expression of these FEHs during a wintering period showed that seasonal changes in mRNA levels were different among genes. Seasonal changes and varietal difference in expressions of FEH genes might also play an important role in tolerance to environmental stresses during wintering.
