Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis Regulatory Mechanisms in Plants

Journal of Oleo Science, 2014
Carotenoids are bioactive compounds with remarkably special properties produced by plants in response to internal and external stresses. In this review paper, we focus on the subject of carotenoid biosynthesis and several factors that have been reported to significantly enhance or reduce carotenoid accumulation in studied plant species.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Transcriptome analysis reveals novel enzymes for apo-carotenoid biosynthesis in saffron and allows construction for crocetin synthesis in yeast.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019
Crocus sativus is generally considered the source of saffron spice and rich in apo-carotenoid compounds such as crocins, crocetin, picrocrocin and safranal, which possess effective pharmacological activities.

The regulatory frameworks surrounding CRISPR‐edited papaya and their impact on international commerce

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract The papaya tree (Carica papaya L.), native to the Americas, is cultivated in tropical regions and holds substantial economic importance, with an estimated export volume of 365 000 t in 2023. However, diseases caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes can lead to severe losses.

Esterification enhances carotenoid retention during bread‐making

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Carotenoids are plant‐derived antioxidants that contribute to human health and represent key quality traits in wheat‐based foods. However, they are highly unstable and prone to degradation during processing. Xanthophyll esterification has been identified as a natural mechanism that enhances carotenoid stability during grain storage.
