Fig. 7.
Distribution of high-DP fructans in blade extracts from L. perenne cultivars with contrasting total sugar content, with measured areas displayed on a log10 scale. Extracts were chromatographically separated and analysed by electrospray ionisation in negative mode with an Orbitrap MS. Dark grey bars depict a standard (Fennema) and light grey bars a high-sugar cultivar (Expo). Significantly higher levels of high-DP fructans are present in Expo than in Fennema
