Pro-Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Effects of Storage Temperature on Plastid Structure and Related Gene Expression During Coloring of Mandarin Fruit Peel After Harvest(贮藏温度对采后蜜橘果皮转色过程中质体结构及相关基因表达的影响) [PDF]

Shipin kexue jishu xuebao, 2022
Temperature is one of the main environmental factors that regulate the coloration of citrus fruits after harvest. The effects of storage temperature of 5℃, 25℃ and 32℃ on the peel color, the plastid structure and the expression levels of related genes of

Novel insights into the contribution of plastoglobules and reactive oxygen species to chromoplast differentiation

, 2023
Plant tissues can be enriched in phytonutrients not only by stimulating their biosynthesis but also by providing appropriate sink structures for their sequestering and storage.

The Role of Carotenogenic Metabolic Flux in Carotenoid Accumulation and Chromoplast Differentiation: Lessons From the Melon Fruit

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Carotenoids have various roles in plant physiology. Plant carotenoids are synthesized in plastids and are highly abundant in the chromoplasts of ripening fleshy fruits.

Differentiation of chromoplasts and other plastids in plants [PDF]

Plant Cell Reports, 2019
Plant cells are characterized by a unique group of interconvertible organelles called plastids, which are descended from prokaryotic endosymbionts. The most studied plastid type is the chloroplast, which carries out the ancestral plastid function of photosynthesis.

Identification of QTLs for root color and carotenoid contents in Japanese orange carrot F2 populations

Scientific Reports, 2022
Carrot is a major source of provitamin A in a human diet. Two of the most important traits for carrot breeding are carotenoid contents and root color.

Fine Mapping and Candidate Gene Identification of a White Flower Gene BrWF3 in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Flower color is an important trait in plants. However, genes responsible for the white flower trait in Chinese cabbage are rarely reported. In this study, we constructed an F2 population derived from the Y640-288 (white flower) and Y641-87 (yellow flower)
