Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Biosynthesis and Regulation of Carotenoids in Plants

Journal of Horticultural Sciences, 2016
Carotenoids are coloured compounds beneficial to plants and humans. Some of the major health benefits carotenoids provide include Vitamin A precursors and, antioxidants besides being involved in several physiological functions.

Transcriptional Regulation of Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Plants: So Many Regulators, So Little Consensus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In plants, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway (CBP) is essential for the production of photosynthetic and protective pigments, plant hormones, and visual/olfactory attractants for animal pollinators and seed dispersers.

Development of zeaxanthin‐rich tomato fruit through genetic manipulations of carotenoid biosynthesis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Summary The oxygenated carotenoid zeaxanthin provides numerous benefits to human health due to its antioxidant properties. Especially it is linked to protecting, together with the xanthophyll lutein, the retina in the human eye by filtering harmful blue ...

Blue Light Receptor PHR2‐Mediated Spectrum Antiviral Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Blue light suppresses RBSDV through the blue‐light receptor ZmPHR2, which interacts with ZmISP in chloroplasts to trigger ROS burst and antiviral defense. The viral effector P6 enhances ZmPHR2–ZmISP interaction, alters their distribution, and suppresses ROS.

The Role of Orange Gene in Carotenoid Accumulation: Manipulating Chromoplasts Toward a Colored Future

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments synthesized in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria and fungus. Their role is essential in light capture, photoprotection, pollinator attraction, and phytohormone production.

Influence of Direct Saponification Conditions on Sterol Yield and Composition of the Unsaponifiable Fraction of the Microalga Isochrysis galbana and the Seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,
