A marigold (Tagetes erecta) R2R3-MYB transcription factor TeMYB4 modulates carotenoid accumulation and petal coloration by directly regulating carotenogenic genes

Industrial Crops and Products
Carotenoids are key pigments responsible for coloration, essential for both plant photosynthesis and human health. Carotenoid content in marigold contributes to petal color and the industrial extraction of lutein.

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

Cold comfort for change: Stream mats as biological indicators of ecosystem processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

Transcriptomic and targeted metabolomic insights into carotenoid-mediated color formation in sorghum grains

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSorghum is a major staple crop in semi-arid regions; however, its generally low grain carotenoid content limits its potential contribution to alleviating vitamin A deficiency.

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...

Effects of different light intensity on leaf color changes in a Chinese cabbage yellow cotyledon mutant

Frontiers in Plant Science
Leaf color is one of the most important phenotypic features in horticultural crops and directly related to the contents of photosynthetic pigments. Most leaf color mutants are determined by the altered chlorophyll or carotenoid, which can be affected by ...

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to
