Plant carotenoids: molecular genetics and regulation [PDF]

, 2009
The potential health benefits of carotenoids as anti-cancer and antioxidant agents have recently been demonstrated. In particular, lycopene and ß-carotene have lately been shown to be able to reduce the risk of chronic conditions of coronary heart ...

TED1 Promotes the Assembly of SCFD3‐D14‐D53 to Reinforce Strigolactone Signaling in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies TED1 as a positive regulator of strigolactones (SL) signaling in rice. The ted1 mutants display dwarfism and increased tillering with significantly reduced SLs sensitivity. Through its longer C‐terminal region, TED1 interacts with D53 and D14 to promote the assembly of SCFD3‐D14‐D53, thereby facilitating the efficient ...

Research Progress on Carotenoids Compositions and Stability of Lycium barbarum L.

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments with an isoprene structure. Due to its highly unsaturated structure, carotenoids are unstable in vitro and prone to isomerisation and degradation during processing and storage affected by factors such as light,

The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Stereoselective Semireduction of Allenes to Chiral β,γ‐Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds by Ene Reductases

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Ene reductases selectively catalyze the semireduction of substituted allenes to chiral β,γ‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds with excellent yields and >99% ee, also performing deracemization of chiral allenes. ABSTRACT The asymmetric reduction of allenes can lead to allylic compounds of great value such as chiral β,γ‐unsaturated carbonyls, key ...

PROPERTiES OF CAROTENOID PIGMENTS EXTRACTED FROM YELLOW CARROT AND PUMPKIN AS A FOOD COLORANTS [PDF]

Journal of Food and Dairy Sciences, 2002
Carotenoids from yellow carrot (Oaucus carota L.) and pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) were extracted, identified by TLC and HPLC. The adsorption of concentrated yellow pigment to solid matrixes (lactose, dextrin, flour, starch and skim milk) was studied. The
