Carotenogenesis during tuber development and storage in potato [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2004 Germplasm of Solanum tuberosum and Solanum phureja exhibit a wide (over 20-fold) variation in tuber carotenoid content. The levels of carotenoids during tuber development and storage were compared in a high carotenoid-accumulating S. phureja accession (DB375\1) with two S.

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.

Horticultural innovation by viral-induced gene regulation of carotenogenesis [PDF]
Horticulture Research, 2022 AbstractMultipartite viral vectors provide a simple, inexpensive and effective biotechnological tool to transiently manipulate (i.e. reduce or increase) gene expression in planta and characterise the function of genetic traits. The development of virus-induced gene regulation (VIGR) systems usually involve the targeted silencing or overexpression of ...

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 ...

Action Spectrum for Carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1969 An action spectrum was measured for photoinduction of colored carotenoids in dark-grown, early stationary-phase cells of Myxococcus xanthus . Maximum activity was observed at 405 to 410 nm with subsidiary maxima at 512, 533, 548, 585, and 635 nm.
