Identification of Plastoglobules as a Site of Carotenoid Cleavage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Carotenoids play an essential role in light harvesting and protection from excess light. During chloroplast senescence carotenoids are released from their binding proteins and are eventually metabolized.

Cytological, genetic and transcriptomic characterization of a cucumber albino mutant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Photosynthesis, a fundamental process for plant growth and development, is dependent on chloroplast formation and chlorophyll synthesis. Severe disruption of chloroplast structure results in albinism of higher plants.

Novel Bread Wheat Lines Enriched in Carotenoids Carrying Hordeum chilense Chromosome Arms in the ph1b Background. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The use of crop wild relative species to improve major crops performance is well established. Hordeum chilense has a high potential as a genetic donor to increase the carotenoid content of wheat. Crosses between the 7Hch H. chilense substitution lines in

MOLECULAR DETERMINATION OF A GREEN ALGAE ISOLATE TO DETECTING 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-phosphate Synthase (DXS) GENE IN IMPROVEMENT OF CAROTENOID PRODUCTION [PDF]

, 2008
Carotenoids production levels are not yet competitive with carotenoid levels presently produced by fermentation, synthesis and isolation. It needs application of metabolic engineering and genetic engineering techniques in improving their production ...

Fruit over sunbed : carotenoid skin coloration is found more attractive than melanin coloration [PDF]

, 2015
Skin coloration appears to play a pivotal part in facial attractiveness. Skin yellowness contributes to an attractive appearance and is influenced both by dietary carotenoids and by melanin.
