Galactinol synthase enzyme activity influences raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) accumulation in developing chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds

Chickpea genotypes with high raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) concentrations showed significantly higher accumulation of initial substrates (myo-inositol and sucrose) as well as higher RFO biosynthetic enzymes activities compared to low RFO genotypes.
