Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...

Negative Regulators of Rice Agronomic Traits: Functional Insights and Applications in Genome Editing‐Based Breeding

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

Carotenoids with two chromophores: carotenoid retinoates

Natural Product Research, 2011
In this study, carotenoid retinoates are described for the first time. The preparation was achieved by the azolide method. Various sec carotenols reacted with N-retinoylimidazol in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium hydride. Mono- and diretinoates of (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin and its (3S,3'S)-enantiomer, (9Z,9'Z; 3R,3'R)-alloxanthin, (3R,3'R)-7,8,7',

Legume carotenoids

C R C Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 1987
In recent years, the results of research studies have suggested a positive beneficial relationship between a vegetarian-based diet and low incidence of diseases, including coronary heart disease, cancer, obesity, dental caries, and osteoporosis. beta-Carotene has specifically been suggested as a nutrient with antitumorigenic properties.

Carotenoids and transcription

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2004
The possible involvement of several transcription systems in the anticancer activity of carotenoids is the focus of this review. Carotenoids modulate the basic mechanisms of cell proliferation, growth factor signaling, gap junctional intercellular communication, and produce changes in the expression of many proteins participating in these processes ...

Carotenoid Interactions

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
Interactions between carotenoids during absorption and during postabsorptive metabolism have been demonstrated or suggested in animal and human feeding or supplementation studies, as well as in in vitro studies of intestinal beta-carotene cleavage.

Carotenoids of the centrarchidae

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1970
Abstract 1. 1. The carotenoid found in the skin and fins of eleven species of Centrarchids was identified as lutein, in the esterified form. 2. 2. Of the five genera, Lepomis generally has higher concentrations of pigment. 3. 3. Astaxanthin appears in the fins and skin of Lepomis megalotis during the breeding season.

SYNTHESIS OF CAROTENOID GLYCOSYLESTERS AND OTHER CAROTENOIDS

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1979
Abstract: The naturally occurring crocetin di(β-D-glucosyl)ester can be synthesised from crocetin diimidazolide or crocetin di-(1,2,4-triazolide) and β-D-glucose in pyridine in presence of a base. The application of this new method to other carboxylic acids (8′ -apo-β-carotene-8′-oic acid, vitamin A acid, benzoic acid and stearic acid) and ...

Carotenoids as antioxidants

Nutrition, 2001
Larry Machlin had many and varied interests in nutrition in general and antioxidants in particular. Although he was interested primarily in vitamin E, he shared a curiosity about the actions of carotenoids that most nutritionists have. He served on the Organizing Committee of the 8th International Symposium on Carotenoids that was held in Boston in ...
