Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions
Marine Drugs, 2011 For photosynthesis, phototrophic organisms necessarily synthesize not only chlorophylls but also carotenoids. Many kinds of carotenoids are found in algae and, recently, taxonomic studies of algae have been developed.

Largely different carotenogenesis in two pummelo fruits with different flesh colors.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Carotenoids in citrus fruits have health benefits and make the fruits visually attractive. Red-fleshed 'Chuhong' ('CH') and pale green-fleshed 'Feicui' ('FC') pummelo (Citrus maxima (Burm) Merr.) fruits are interesting materials for studying the ...

Characterization of Dunaliella salina strains by flow cytometry: a new approach to select carotenoid hyperproducing strains [PDF]
, 2008 In the present work the characterization of different strains of Dunaliella salina from established cell culture collections and various isolates from solar saltworks located in the Canary Island, as well as one mutant, was carried out in order to assess

BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Carotenoids and flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants, which exert multiple bioactivities and benefits to human health. Although the genes that encode carotenogenesis and flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes are well characterized,

Plants, 2020 In plants, carotenoids define fruit pigmentation and are involved in the processes of photo-oxidative stress defense and phytohormone production; a key enzyme responsible for carotene synthesis in fruit is phytoene synthase 1 (PSY1).

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.SUMMARY Fruit pigmentation mainly controlled by chlorophyll, carotenoids, and flavonoids is an important phenomenon for fortifying the nutritional and esthetic value of humans. Our previous study identified Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 (PRR2) as a regulator of fruit pigmentation through its association with the c1 locus.

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1143-1163, December 2025.ABSTRACT We investigated the impact of light intensity, light quality, and temperature on growth rate, fucoxanthin (Fx), chlorophyll a and c (Chl a and c), and total carotenoid (Car) contents of the two marine diatoms Coscinodiscus radiatus and Cylindrotheca sp. Additionally, we analysed antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation to determine
