Functional characterization of the Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase encoding genes that are involved in the synthesis of isoprenoid precursors.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous synthesizes the carotenoid astaxanthin, which has applications in biotechnology because of its antioxidant and pigmentation properties.

Genomic‐wide analysis reveals seven in absentia genes regulating grain development in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Seven in absentia proteins, which contain a conserved SINA domain, are involved in regulating various aspects of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and development, especially in response to environmental stresses. However, it is unclear whether TaSINA family members are involved in regulating grain development until now.

Exploring the dynamics of astaxanthin production in Haematococcus pluvialis biofilms using a rotating biofilm‐based system

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 991-1004, March 2024.
This study explored the dynamics of astaxanthin production in Haematococcus pluvialis using a rotating biofilm system, focusing on how biofilm traits respond to light intensity, nitrogen regime, and light history (priming). The results highlighted the system's potential for high‐value compound production, with astaxanthin productivity competitive with ...

Priming avocado with sodium hydrosulfide prior to frost conditions induces the expression of genes involved in protection and stress responses

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Priming plants with chemical agents has been extensively investigated as a means for improving their tolerance to many biotic and abiotic stresses. Earlier, we showed that priming young avocado (Persea americana Mill cv. ‘Hass’) trees with sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a donor of hydrogen sulfide, improves the response of photosynthesis to ...
