Carotenogenesis in carrot roots

Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1964
The factors affecting carotenoid formation in carrot roots are described in detail, and their significance for the evaluation of field trials and for the breeding of carrots of a good colour are discussed. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

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.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis unveils interactions between the regulatory CarS protein and light response in Fusarium [PDF]

, 2019
Background The orange pigmentation of the agar cultures of many Fusarium species is due to the production of carotenoids, terpenoid pigments whose synthesis is stimulated by light.

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

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 ...

Carotenogenesis associated with arthrosporulation of Trichophyton mentagrophytes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1978
Carotenoid pigments were demonstrated in arthrospores of the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes but were absent from hyphae and microconidia of this fungus. Incubation at higher temperatures (39 degrees C) allowed arthrosporulation to occur, but essentially no carotenoid was detected in such arthrospores.

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

Enhancement of violaxanthin accumulation in Nannochloropsis oceanica by overexpressing a carotenoid isomerase gene from Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Nannochloropsis has been considered as a promising feedstock for the industrial production of violaxanthin. However, a rational breeding strategy for the enhancement of violaxanthin content in this microalga is still vacant, thereby limiting its ...

Molecular characterization of cyanobacterial short‐chain prenyltransferases and discovery of a novel GGPP phosphatase

The FEBS Journal, Volume 289, Issue 21, Page 6672-6693, November 2022., 2022
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are favourable hosts for terpenoid production because they can produce these compounds from light, carbon dioxide and water. An uncommon feature of cyanobacteria is that they possess only a single prenyltransferase for generating short‐chain terpenoid skeletons.

Carotenogénesis y pigmentos en Cucurbita spp.

Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2023
Los carotenoides son pigmentos orgánicos que el organismo no puede sintetizar y deben ser suministrados en la dieta humana. Este artículo de revisión tiene por objetivo abordar la ruta carotenogénica y los pigmentos predominantes en la pulpa de ...
