Cytosolic and Nuclear Co-localization of Betalain Biosynthetic Enzymes in Tobacco Suggests that Betalains Are Synthesized in the Cytoplasm and/or Nucleus of Betalainic Plant Cells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Betalains replace anthocyanins as color pigments in most families of Caryophyllales. Unlike anthocyanins, betalains are derived from tyrosine via three enzymatic steps: hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA; step 1), and ...

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

The effect of light supplementation on the changes in outer and inner fruit quality of different Selenicereus spp. cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenicereus spp., belonging to the Cactaceae family, produces pitaya, a fruit recognized for its exotic appearance and rich phytochemical composition. In regions with shorter photoperiods, flowering and fruit development are limited, making light supplementation a promising strategy.

Post-transcriptional gene silencing of CYP76AD controls betalain biosynthesis in bracts of bougainvillea

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021
Abstract Betalain is one of four major plant pigments and shares some features with anthocyanin; however, no plant has been found to biosynthesize both pigments. Previous studies have reported that anthocyanin biosynthesis in some plants is regulated by post-transcriptional gene-silencing (PTGS), but the importance of PTGS in betalain ...

Effect of betanin synthesis on photosynthesis and tyrosine metabolism in transgenic carrot

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Betalain is a natural pigment with important nutritional value and broad application prospects. Previously, we produced betanin biosynthesis transgenic carrots via expressing optimized genes CYP76AD1S, cDOPA5GTS and DODA1S.

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Stress-specific adaptation of a non-betalain DODA homolog from pansy (Viola × wittrockiana)

Industrial Crops and Products
The mutual exclusivity of anthocyanin and betalain pigmentation in plants is a classic example of metabolic lineage-specific adaptation. Unlike L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) 4,5-dioxygenase (DODA) in betalain-producing plants, which is ...
