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
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.
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 ...

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

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 ...
