Kinetics of lycopene degradation in sunflower and grape seed oils [PDF]

, 2018
The stability of lycopene in two vegetable oils, sunflower seed oil (SSO) and grape seed oil (GSO), was investigated by analyzing the carotenoid degradation kinetics in the temperature range of 10–40°C.

Photoactivation Mechanism, Timing of Protein Secondary Structure Dynamics and Carotenoid Translocation in the Orange Carotenoid Protein

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018
The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a two-domain photoactive protein that noncovalently binds an echinenone (ECN) carotenoid and mediates photoprotection in cyanobacteria.

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.

Combining genome‐wide association and genomic prediction to unravel the genetic architecture of carotenoid accumulation in carrot

The Plant Genome
Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are a rich source of provitamin A, namely, α‐ and β‐carotene. Breeding programs prioritize increasing β‐carotene content for improved color and nutrition.

Influence of nitrogen variation and 15% CO2 injection on wax ester production in Euglena gracilis isolated from Dieng Peatland, Indonesia

Applied Phycology
Biodiesel production requires alternative feedstocks that are both renewable and environmentally friendly. Euglena gracilis is a microorganism capable of producing wax esters, which show strong potential as alternative fuels due to their high ...

A Study on the Cell Layer Patterns of a Citrus Periclinal Chimera Reveals β‐Cryptoxanthin Regulation in Citrus Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers have identified a citrus chimera with distinctive tissue origins and carotenoid profiles. It is discovered that fruit tissues develop from all three cell layers but in different proportions. A key transcription factor, MYB107, regulates β‐cryptoxanthin production by directly activating carotenoid biosynthesis genes, explaining why some ...

Sites of Biosynthesis of Outer and Inner Membrane Proteins of Neurospora crassa Mitochondria [PDF]

, 1970
Outer and inner membranes of Neurospora crassa mitochondria were separated by the combined swelling, shrinking, sonication procedure. Membranes were characterized by electron microscopy and by marker enzyme activities.
