Elucidating the genetic basis of antioxidant status in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A diet rich in phytonutrients from fruit and vegetables has been acknowledged to afford protection against a range of human diseases, but many of the most popular vegetables are low in phytonutrients. Wild relatives of crops may contain allelic variation

Differential Coloration, Pigment Biosynthesis-Related Gene Expression, and Accumulation According to Developmental Stage in the ‘Enbu’ Apple

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2023
Coloration, a major factor contributing to apple quality, attracts consumer attraction, thereby increasing the sale of fruits in the market. Among the fruit pigments, anthocyanins and carotenoids are the most important pigments that impart coloration to ...

Overexpression of beta-carotene hydroxylase enhances stress tolerance in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Plant stress caused by extreme environmental conditions is already a principal reason for yield reduction in crops. The threat of global environment change makes it increasingly important to generate crop plants that will withstand such conditions ...

The HY5-PIF regulatory module coordinates light and temperature control of photosynthetic gene transcription [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The ability to interpret daily and seasonal alterations in light and temperature signals is essential for plant survival. This is particularly important during seedling establishment when the phytochrome photoreceptors activate photosynthetic pigment ...

Cloning and characterisation of a maize carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (ZmCCD1) and its involvement in the biosynthesis of apocarotenoids with various roles in mutualistic and parasitic interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Colonisation of maize roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi leads to the accumulation of apocarotenoids (cyclohexenone and mycorradicin derivatives).

Mechanism of Fruit Ripening - Chapter 16 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The fruit ripening process has been viewed over the last decades as being successively of physiological, biochemical, and molecular nature. Fruit ripening is accompanied by a number of biochemical events, including changes in color, sugar, acidity ...

Functional Characterization of a Missing Branch Component in Haematococcus pluvialis for Control of Algal Carotenoid Biosynthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Cyclization of acyclic lycopene by cyclases marks an important regulatory point in carotenoid biosynthesis. Though some algal lycopene epsilon cyclases (LCYEs) have been predicted computationally, very few have been functionally identified.

Cmcrf1, a Putative Zn2Cys6 Fungal Transcription Factor, Is Involved in Conidiation, Carotenoid Production, and Fruiting Body Development in Cordyceps militaris

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Cordyceps militaris is a high-value medicinal and edible fungus that produces many bioactive compounds, including carotenoid, and thus, improving the carotenoid productivity of C. militaris will increase its commercial value.

Metabolic engineering of micronutrients in crop plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Micronutrient deficiency is a widespread phenomenon, most prevalent in developing countries. Being causally linked to the occurrence of a range of diseases, it affects billions of people worldwide. Enhancing the content of micronutrients in crop products

Single-cell genomics based on Raman sorting reveals novel carotenoid-containing bacteria in the Red Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cell sorting coupled with single-cell genomics is a powerful tool to circumvent cultivation of microorganisms and reveal microbial ‘dark matter’. Single-cell Raman spectra (SCRSs) are label-free biochemical ‘fingerprints’ of individual cells, which can ...
