Computation-Driven Analysis of Model Polyextremo-tolerant Fungus Exophiala dermatitidis: Defensive Pigment Metabolic Costs and Human Applications

iScience, 2020
Summary: The polyextremotolerant black yeast Exophiala dermatitidis is a tractable model system for investigation of adaptations that support growth under extreme conditions. Foremost among these adaptations are melanogenesis and carotenogenesis.

CRY1–GAIP1 complex mediates blue light to hinder the repression of PIF5 on AGL5 to promote carotenoid biosynthesis in mango fruit

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2769-2789, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoids are essential natural pigments that not only determine the commercial value of horticultural crops through colouration but also serve as vital antioxidants and provitamin A precursors in the human diet. Our previous research has demonstrated that blue light induces carotenoid biosynthesis in mango fruit.

Genome Editing Technologies to Improve Health‐Related Phytocompounds in Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1271-1286, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to rapid global population growth and the resulting significant increase in food demand, the world is facing an epidemic of malnutrition. Although yield improvement remains one of the main targets of breeding programs, much attention is being paid to the nutritional aspects of crops, including nutrients and bioactive compounds that are ...

Exposure dose, light distribution and wavelength affect the fate of introduced bacterial biological control agents in the phyllosphere of greenhouse grown tomato

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 789-800, May 2025.
The use of chemical plant protection products must be reduced to promote sustainability in food production. One possible alternative is biological control agents (BCAs), but their efficacy under commercial conditions does not always reach the standard of chemical control agents.

An overview of the nutritional quality and health benefits linked to the world diversity of citrus fruits/juices

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Citrus juices represent a nutrient‐dense beverage due to the remarkable balance in their bioactive compounds (vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers, and phytochemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids). This review aims to examine the nutritional quality and the health benefits of citrus juice consumption linked to the world diversity of citrus

Efficient Fermentation Production of Astaxanthin in Chromochloris zofingiensis via a Novel Inducer‐Free pH‐Stress‐Induced High‐Cell‐Density Cultivation Strategy

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The unicellular green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis has emerged as a promising candidate for large‐scale astaxanthin production, owing to its exceptional capacity for ultrahigh‐cell‐density growth under heterotrophic conditions. However, the commercial viability of C. zofingiensis is constrained by its inherently low intracellular astaxanthin content.
