Deciphering the functional characterization of Orange (Or) genes during development and ripening of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) fruit

Vegetable Research
Carotenoids are the main nutrients and coloring matter in the flesh of watermelon. However, the significant role of Orange gene in carotenoid accumulation and chromoplast differentiation remains uncharacterized in watermelon.

The influence of norflurazon on the formation of chromoplast tubules in Hypericum perforatum flowers

, 1998
The influence of norflurazon on the formation of the chromoplasts of Hypericum perforatum petals was studied by electron microscopy. Norflurazon (2 x 10-4 M) inhibited the synthesis of coloured carotenoids, impairing the assembly of chromoplast tubules ...

Delayed Starch Degradation Triggers Chromoplast Structural Aberration to Inhibit Carotenoid Cleavage: A Novel Mechanism for Flower Color Deepening in Osmanthus fragrans

Horticulturae
The color of flowers in Osmanthus fragrans is regulated by carotenoid metabolism. The orange-red variety, Dangui, is believed to have evolved from the yellow variety, Jingui, through a natural bud mutation. This study uses the Jingui cultivar ‘Jinqiu Gui’
