The role of environmental stress in fruit pigmentation

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 46, Issue 12, Page 3663-3679, December 2023., 2023
Abstract For many fruit crops, the colour of the fruit outwardly defines its eating quality. Fruit pigments provide reproductive advantage for the plant as well as providing protection against unfavourable environmental conditions and pathogens. For consumers these colours are considered attractive and provide many of the dietary benefits derived from ...

The Carotenogenesis Pathway via the Isoprenoid-β-carotene Interference Approach in a New Strain of Dunaliella salina Isolated from Baja California Mexico

Marine Drugs, 2009
D. salina is one of the recognized natural sources to produce β-carotene, and an useful model for studying the role of inhibitors and enhancers of carotenogenesis. However there is little information in D.

Identification of two terpenoids that accumulate in Chinese water chestnut in response to fresh‐cut processing

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 9, Page 5166-5173, September 2023., 2023
6ß‐Hydroxystigmast‐4‐en‐3‐one and blumenol A were isolated and identified from CWC for the first time. Fresh‐cut processing induced the biosynthesis of these two compounds in CWC during the late stage of storage. Expression of structural genes involved in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis and carotenoid precursor biosynthesis of CWC was induced by ...

Overexpression of PSY1 increases fruit skin and flesh carotenoid content and reveals associated transcription factors in apple (Malus × domestica)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the carotenoid metabolic pathway is still emerging and here, we have misexpressed a key biosynthetic gene in apple to highlight potential transcriptional regulators of this pathway. We overexpressed phytoene

An enhanced electron transport chain improved astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 1382-1398, May 2023., 2023
Integrative metabolic analysis of improved astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma. Luna‐Flores and co‐workers grew their mutant and wild‐type P. rhodozyma strains in instrumented fermenters and obtained kinetics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics data for comparative analysis. By integration with genomic data, the authors found correlation between

Postharvest UV-B and Photoperiod with Blue + Red LEDs as Strategies to Stimulate Carotenogenesis in Bell Peppers

Applied Sciences, 2021
Background: Our objective was to evaluate carotenoid accumulation in bell peppers during shelf life under different light conditions. Methods: Fruit stored for 6 d at 7 °C received a 9 kJ m−2 UV-B treatment, while non-UV-treated were used as control ...

Deregulation of ζ‐carotene desaturase in Arabidopsis and tomato exposes a unique carotenoid‐derived redundant regulation of floral meristem identity and function

The Plant Journal, Volume 114, Issue 4, Page 783-804, May 2023., 2023
SUMMARY A level of redundancy and interplay among the transcriptional regulators of floral development safeguards a plant's reproductive success and ensures crop production. In the present study, an additional layer of complexity in the regulation of floral meristem (FM) identity and flower development is elucidated linking carotenoid biosynthesis and ...

A xanthophyll-derived apocarotenoid regulates carotenogenesis in tomato chromoplasts.

Plant Science, 2022
Carotenoids possess important biological functions that make them essential components of the human diet. β-Carotene and some other carotenoids have vitamin A activity while lutein and zeaxanthin, typically referred to as the macular pigments, are ...

Volatiles of the Apicomplexan Alga Chromera velia and Associated Bacteria

ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 3, February 1, 2023., 2023
Passing the smell test: The apicomplexan alga Chromera velia harbours a range of bacteria that have been identified by metagenome analysis. Analysis of the volatile organic compounds in the C. velia and individual bacterial isolates showed an almost absent overlap between the released compounds, thus indicating a low contribution of the bacteria to the
