Carotenoid biosynthesis in diatoms

Photosynthesis Research, 2010
Diatoms are ubiquitous and constitute an important group of the phytoplankton community having a major contribution to the total marine primary production. These microalgae exhibit a characteristic golden-brown colour due to a high amount of the xanthophyll fucoxanthin that plays a major role in the light-harvesting complex of photosystems.

Blue Light Simultaneously Induces Peel Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Flesh Carotenoid/Sucrose Biosynthesis in Mango Fruit.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2022
Previous studies focused on the effects of light on fruit appearance, especially the peel color. However, the effect of light on fruit internal quality and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we analyzed the effects of blue light on the

Two papaya MYB proteins function in fruit ripening through regulating some genes involved in cell wall degradation and carotenoid biosynthesis.

The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2020
BACKGROUND MYB transcription factors (TFs) widely exist in plant and play important functions in plant growth and development, including fruit development and ripening.

BnaABF3 and BnaMYB44 regulate the transcription of zeaxanthin epoxidase genes in carotenoid and abscisic acid biosynthesis.

Plant Physiology
Zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of zeaxanthin to violaxanthin in the carotenoid and abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis pathways.

The biosynthesis and nutritional uses of carotenoids

Progress in Lipid Research, 2004
Carotenoids are isoprenoid molecules that are widespread in nature and are typically seen as pigments in fruits, flowers, birds and crustacea. Animals are unable to synthesise carotenoids de novo, and rely upon the diet as a source of these compounds.

Occurrence and biosynthesis of carotenoids in phytoplankton

Biotechnology Advances, 2017
Naturally occurring carotenoids are important sources of antioxidants, anti-cancer compounds and anti-inflammatory agents and there is thus considerable market demand for their pharmaceutical applications. Carotenoids are widely distributed in marine and freshwater organisms including microalgae, phytoplankton, crustaceans and fish, as well as in ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis in the Phylum Actinobacteria

2021
Actinobacteria is the phylum that has the biggest genome in the Bacteria domain and includes many colored species. Their pigment analysis revealed that structurally diverse carotenoids are responsible for their pigmentation. This chapter reviews the biosynthesis of the diverse carotenoids of Actinobacteria.

HIGH-TILLERING AND DWARF 12 regulates photosynthesis and plant architecture by affecting carotenoid biosynthesis in rice.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Photosynthesis and plant architecture are important factors influencing grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Here, we identified the high-tillering and dwarf 12 (htd12) mutant and analyzed the effects of the HTD12 mutation on these important factors ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis and Biotechnological Application

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2001
A survey is given on the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway leading to beta-carotene and its oxidation products in bacteria and plants. This includes the synthesis of prenyl pyrophosphates via the mevalonate or the 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate pathways as well as the reaction sequences of carotenoid formation and interconversion together with the ...
