Carotenoid-Mediated Long-Range Energy Transfer in the Light Harvesting–Reaction Center Complex from Photosynthetic Bacterium Roseiflexus castenholzii

, 2023
The light harvesting–reaction center complex (LH–RC) of Roseiflexus castenholzii binds bacteriochlorophylls a (BChls a), B800 and B880, absorbing around 800 and 880 nm, respectively. We comparatively investigated the interband excitation energy transfer (

Mechanistic aspects of carotenoid biosynthesis [PDF]

, 2014
Carotenoid synthesis is based on the analysis of the phenotype of several mutant strains of tomato lacking carotenoid synthetic genes. Carotenoids are tetraterpenes derived through the condensation of the five-carbon (C5) universal isoprenoid precursors ...

“Hormonal crosstalking in the control of apical dominance in pea (Pisum sativum L.)” [PDF]

, 2013
The aim of my research is the study of the involvement of three plant growth regulators (Auxin, Gibberellins and Strigolactones) in the regulation of apical dominance in pea and how they interact to control lateral bud growth.

Dissecting Carotenoid from Structural Components of Carotenoid-Based Coloration: A Field Experiment with Great Tits (Parus major) [PDF]

, 2010
Carotenoid-based yellowish to red plumage colors are widespread visual signals used in sexual and social communication. To understand their ultimate signaling functions, it is important to identify the proximate mechanism promoting variation in ...

Towards carotenoid biofortification in wheat: identification of XAT-7A1, a multicopy tandem gene responsible for carotenoid esterification in durum wheat

, 2023
Yellow pigment content, mainly due to the accumulation of carotenoids, is a quality trait in durum wheat grain as it confers the bright yellow color to pasta preferred by consumers.

Long-term strict raw food diet is associated with favourable plasma b-carotene and low plasma lycopene concentrations in Germans [PDF]

, 2008
Dietary carotenoids are associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Raw food diets are predominantly plant-based diets that are practised with the intention of preventing chronic diseases by virtue of their high content of beneficial nutritive ...

Exploring the Metabolic Pathways of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Yellow Leaf Mutants via Metabolomics

Plants
A yellow leaf mutant named ‘ZT00091’ was discovered during the cultivation of the melon variety ‘ZT091’. An analysis of the leaf ultrastructure revealed that the chloroplasts of ‘ZT00091’ were significantly smaller than those of ‘ZT091’, with irregular ...
