Postharvest UV-B and Photoperiod with Blue + Red LEDs as Strategies to Stimulate Carotenogenesis in Bell Peppers

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Background: Our objective was to evaluate carotenoid accumulation in bell peppers during shelf life under different light conditions. Methods: Fruit stored for 6 d at 7 °C received a 9 kJ m−2 UV-B treatment, while non-UV-treated were used as control ...

Carotenoids in Algae: Distributions, Biosyntheses and Functions

open access: yesMarine 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.

A xanthophyll-derived apocarotenoid regulates carotenogenesis in tomato chromoplasts.

open access: yesPlant Science, 2022
Carotenoids possess important biological functions that make them essential components of the human diet. β-Carotene and some other carotenoids have vitamin A activity while lutein and zeaxanthin, typically referred to as the macular pigments, are ...

Overexpression of PSY1 increases fruit skin and flesh carotenoid content and reveals associated transcription factors in apple (Malus × domestica)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the carotenoid metabolic pathway is still emerging and here, we have misexpressed a key biosynthetic gene in apple to highlight potential transcriptional regulators of this pathway. We overexpressed phytoene

Carotenoids production: microorganisms as source of natural dyes Produção de carotenoides: microrganismos como fonte de pigmentos naturais

open access: yesQuímica Nova, 2009
Carotenoids are natural dyes synthesized by plants, algae and microorganisms. Application in many sectors can be found, as food dyeing and supplementation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and animal feed.

Identification of microRNAs in Dunaliella salina and their potential role in carotenogenesis under salinity stress

open access: yesBiologia
Carotenoid biosynthesis in Dunaliella species is regulated by a complex network of molecular mechanisms, which remain largely unexplored. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as post-transcriptional regulators, acting as molecular switches that modulate gene ...

Carotenogenesis in Haematococcus pluvialis cells under the combined action of excess of NaCl in the culture medium and high light intensity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Biological Series, 2022
The parameters of growth and development of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, as well as the process of carotenogenesis, including the pigment composition and expression of the key genes of astaxanthin biosynthesis, were studied in algal cells under

Accumulation of Astaxanthin by a New Haematococcus pluvialis Strain BM1 from the White Sea Coastal Rocks (Russia)

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2014
We report on a novel arctic strain BM1 of a carotenogenic chlorophyte from a coastal habitat with harsh environmental conditions (wide variations in solar irradiance, temperature, salinity and nutrient availability) identified as Haematococcus pluvialis ...

CAROTENOGENESIS GENE EXPRESSION PROFILE REVEALS THE SPECIFICITIES OF CAROTENOID BIOSYNTHESIS IN GARLIC ORGANS

open access: yesXII Международная конференция молодых ученых: биоинформатиков, биотехнологов, биофизиков, вирусологов, молекулярных биологов и специалистов фундаментальной медицины — 2025 : сб. тез.
In the garlic genome all major structural genes of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway have been identified. The expression profiles of the identified genes have been determined, and the maximum expression levels have been detected, as expected, in ...
