The combined effects of Golden2‐like 2 and Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 control the fruit pigmentation in pepper

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Fruit pigmentation mainly controlled by chlorophyll, carotenoids, and flavonoids is an important phenomenon for fortifying the nutritional and esthetic value of humans. Our previous study identified Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 (PRR2) as a regulator of fruit pigmentation through its association with the c1 locus.

Regulatory mechanisms underlying oil palm mesocarp maturation and functional specialization in lipid and carotenoid metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The lipid-rich fleshy mesocarp tissue of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruit is not only the main source of edible oil for the world, but it is also the richest dietary source of provitamin A. This study examines the transcriptional basis of these two

Light quality rather than oxidative stress impacts fucoxanthin content in Coscinodiscus radiatus and Cylindrotheca sp.

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1143-1163, December 2025.
ABSTRACT We investigated the impact of light intensity, light quality, and temperature on growth rate, fucoxanthin (Fx), chlorophyll a and c (Chl a and c), and total carotenoid (Car) contents of the two marine diatoms Coscinodiscus radiatus and Cylindrotheca sp. Additionally, we analysed antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation to determine

Interconnections of Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis and Circadian Rhythm in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Significance: Both circadian rhythm and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are fundamental features of aerobic eukaryotic cells. The circadian clock enhances the fitness of organisms by enabling them to anticipate cycling changes in the ...

CRY1–GAIP1 complex mediates blue light to hinder the repression of PIF5 on AGL5 to promote carotenoid biosynthesis in mango fruit

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2769-2789, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoids are essential natural pigments that not only determine the commercial value of horticultural crops through colouration but also serve as vital antioxidants and provitamin A precursors in the human diet. Our previous research has demonstrated that blue light induces carotenoid biosynthesis in mango fruit.

Integrated Transcriptomic and Metabolomic analysis reveals a transcriptional regulation network for the biosynthesis of carotenoids and flavonoids in ‘Cara cara’ navel Orange

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Carotenoids and flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in plants, which exert multiple bioactivities and benefits to human health. Although the genes that encode carotenogenesis and flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes are well characterized,

A basic Helix-Loop-Helix (SlARANCIO), identified from a Solanum pennellii introgression line, affects carotenoid accumulation in tomato fruits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Carotenoid accumulation in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruits is influenced by environmental stimuli and hormonal signals. However, information on the relative regulatory mechanisms are scanty since many molecular players of the carotenoid biosynthetic

Genome Editing Technologies to Improve Health‐Related Phytocompounds in Crops

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1271-1286, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to rapid global population growth and the resulting significant increase in food demand, the world is facing an epidemic of malnutrition. Although yield improvement remains one of the main targets of breeding programs, much attention is being paid to the nutritional aspects of crops, including nutrients and bioactive compounds that are ...

Conidiation in Neurospora crassa: vegetative reproduction by a model fungus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Asexual development, conidiation, in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a simple developmental process that starts with the growth of aerial hyphae.

Exposure dose, light distribution and wavelength affect the fate of introduced bacterial biological control agents in the phyllosphere of greenhouse grown tomato

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 789-800, May 2025.
The use of chemical plant protection products must be reduced to promote sustainability in food production. One possible alternative is biological control agents (BCAs), but their efficacy under commercial conditions does not always reach the standard of chemical control agents.
