Characterization of Carotenoid Accumulation and Carotenogenic Gene Expression During Fruit Development in Yellow and White Loquat Fruit

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2016
Accumulation of carotenoids in peel and pulp of the yellow-fleshed loquat ‘Zaozhong 6’ (ZZ6) and the white-fleshed loquat ‘Baiyu’ (BY) were tracked during different fruit development stages, and the expression of 15 carotenogenic genes were analyzed ...

Fruit shading enhances peel color, carotenes accumulation and chromoplast differentiation in red grapefruit

, 2015
The distinctive color of red grapefruits is due to lycopene, an unusual carotene in citrus. It has been observed that red Star Ruby' (SR) grapefruits grown inside the tree canopy develop a more intense red coloration than those exposed to higher light ...

STAY-GREEN overexpression in dark-incubated leaves promotes the formation of transitional chromoplast-like plastids

[EN] The transition of chloroplasts into chromoplasts and gerontoplasts during fruit ripening and leaf senescence, respectively, involves chlorophyll breakdown and chloroplast deterioration. Chlorophyll removal is carried out by several enzymes.
