Function
Galactinol synthase involved in the biosynthesis of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) that function as osmoprotectants. Promotes stress tolerance of factors such as drought, chilling, salinity and methylviologen (MV), a superoxide radical generating drug, by mediating an increase in levels of the endogenous osmoprotective compounds, galactinol and raffinose.
