Abstract
⺠Modification of fructan biosynthesis in chicory showed to have little effect. ⺠The fructan biosynthesis pathway can be transferred to non-fructan-accumulating plants. ⺠Tailor-made fructan can be synthesized in originally non-fructan-producing plants. ⺠The fructan chain length distribution of tailor-made fructan is dependent on FFT. ⺠High potential crops for tailor-made fructan production are sugar beet, sugarcane and rice.
