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

Phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns in microbial carotenoid biosynthesis are revealed by comparative genomics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Carotenoids are multifunctional, taxonomically widespread and biotechnologically important pigments. Their biosynthesis serves as a model system for understanding the evolution of secondary metabolism.

Studies on the absorption of beta-carotene and the distribution of total carotenoid in human serum lipoproteins after oral administration*

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1962
The carotenoid increment in human serum was measured after the oral administration of aqueous dispersions and lipid dispersions of β-carotene with different test meal regimens. β-carotene was readily absorbed in both forms.

Oxidative physiology is weakly associated with pigmentation in birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
The mechanistic link between avian oxidative physiology and plumage coloration has attracted considerable attention in past decades. Hence, multiple proximal hypotheses were proposed to explain how oxidative state might covary with the production of ...
