Chromoplast plastoglobules recruit the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway and contribute to carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit maturation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit maturation is associated with a developmental transition from chloroplasts (in mature green fruit) to chromoplasts (in red fruit).

Roles of plastid-located phosphate transporters in carotenoid accumulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Enhanced carotenoid accumulation in plants is crucial for the nutritional and health demands of the human body since these beneficial substances are acquired through dietary intake.

“Omics” insights into plastid behavior toward improved carotenoid accumulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plastids are a group of diverse organelles with conserved carotenoids synthesizing and sequestering functions in plants. They optimize the carotenoid composition and content in response to developmental transitions and environmental stimuli.

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high-value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

The FIBRILLIN multigene family in tomato, their roles in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement A multiplex CRISPR/Cas approach has been used to characterise members of the FIBRILLIN (FBN) multigene family, through the generation and characterisation of independent and high‐order mutants. Molecular and biochemical characterisation has been performed, showing functional redundancy between members and the roles of FBN in ...

The 14-3-3 Protein SlTFT1 Accelerates Tomato Fruit Ripening by Binding and Stabilising YFT1 in the Ethylene Signalling Pathway. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Ethylene plays a pivotal role during the fruit ripening process in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Previously, we have reported that the tomato EIN2‐like protein YELLOW‐FRUITED TOMATO1 (YFT1), a core component in the ethylene signal transduction pathway, exerts a critical regulatory function in the tomato fruit ripening process.
