Recombinant production of amaranthin and other betalain variants with yeast cell factories [PDF]

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Betalains are a class of natural pigments found in plants of the Caryophyllales order. Betanin is the dominant betalain on the food colour market, even though over 80 other variants are known.

Defining Color Change in Pitaya: A Close Look at Betacyanin Synthesis Genes in Stenocereus queretaroensis

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Betalains are tyrosine-derived plant pigments present in several species of the Caryophyllales order. Betalains are classified in red betacyanins and yellow betaxanthins and are implicated in plant stress tolerance and visual attraction for pollinators ...

Comparative transcriptomic profiling in the pulp and peel of pitaya fruit uncovers the gene networks regulating pulp color formation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pitaya (genus Hylocereus) is a popular fruit. To develop pitaya fruit with greater marketability and high nutritional value, it is important to elucidate the roles of candidate genes and key metabolites that contribute to the coloration of the pitaya ...

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of the Metabolism of Betalains and Flavonoids in Red Amaranth Hypocotyl under Blue Light and Dark Conditions

Molecules, 2023
Amaranth plants contain abundant betalains and flavonoids. Anthocyanins are important flavonoids; however, they cannot coexist in the same plant with betalains. Blue light influences metabolite synthesis and hypocotyl elongation; accordingly, analyses of

Diverting tyrosine: Data from untargeted metabolic analysis of tomato fruit accumulating L-DOPA

Data in Brief, 2021
L-DOPA, also known as Levodopa or L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, is synthesised in plants from the amino acid tyrosine, through oxidation. Conversion of tyrosine to L-DOPA constitues the first step of betalain biosynthesis in plants.

First Betalain-Producing Bacteria Break the Exclusive Presence of the Pigments in the Plant Kingdom

mBio, 2019
The biosynthesis of antioxidant pigments, namely, betalains, was believed to be restricted to Caryophyllales plants. This paper changes this paradigm, and enzyme mining from bacterial hosts promoted the discovery of bacterial cultures producing betalains.
