Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
Journal of Botany, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Chromoplast biogenesis in Chelidonium majus petals
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 The differentiation of chromoplasts, with special emphasis on the formation and the organisation of chromoplast fibrils, was followed in the petals of the greater celandine, Chelidonium majus L.

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.

Photosynthetic Pigments Profiled in Capsicum Lutescens Mutants
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021 Lutescens, or lutescent, plant mutants produce leaves that are abnormally light yellow-green compared with normal plants, and are observed in multiple species of Capsicum as well as other genera such as Zea, Oryza, and Oenothera.

Color biogenesis data of tomatoes treated with hot-water and high temperature ethylene treatments
Data in Brief, 2021 Controlled postharvest stresses were used to induce the synthesis of carotenoids in tomato fruit. The accumulation of carotenoids was observed by the change of color of the tomato fruit from green to red.
