The Adaptive Role of Carotenoids and Anthocyanins in Solanum lycopersicum Pigment Mutants under High Irradiance

Cells, 2023
The effects of high-intensity light on the pigment content, photosynthetic rate, and fluorescence parameters of photosystem II in high-pigment tomato mutants (hp 3005) and low-pigment mutants (lp 3617) were investigated. This study also evaluated the dry

Structure and biosynthesis of carotenoids produced by a novel Planococcus sp. isolated from South Africa

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background The genus Planococcus is comprised of halophilic bacteria generally reported for the production of carotenoid pigments and biosurfactants. In previous work, we showed that the culturing of the orange-pigmented Planococcus sp.

The Role of Alternative Electron Pathways for Effectiveness of Photosynthetic Performance of Arabidopsis thaliana, Wt and Lut2, under Low Temperature and High Light Intensity

Plants, 2022
A recent investigation has suggested that the enhanced capacity for PSI-dependent cyclic electron flow (CEF) and PSI-dependent energy quenching that is related to chloroplast structural changes may explain the lower susceptibility of lut2 to combined ...

Carotenoid and transcriptome profiles of a novel citrus cultivar ‘Jinlegan’ reveal mechanisms of yellowish fruit formation

Horticulture Advances, 2023
Citrus fruit coloration is one of the vital quality traits that is determined primarily by the composition and content of carotenoids. Natural citrus fruit pigment mutants are available to study diverse and complex carotenoid metabolism. Here, ‘Jinlegan’

Multiple loss-of-function mutations of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 reveal its major role in both carotenoid level and apocarotenoid composition in flue-cured mature tobacco leaves

Scientific Reports, 2023
Apocarotenoid volatiles contribute to the flavor of many agricultural products. In many flowering plants, carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 (CCD4) is involved in the decomposition of carotenoids and resultant production of C13-apocarotenoids, such as β ...
