Microscopic Analyses of Fruit Cell Plastid Development in Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) during Fruit Ripening

Molecules, 2019
Plastids are sites for carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation, but detailed information on fruit plastid development and its relation to carotenoid accumulation remains largely unclear.

Lycopene and β-Carotene accumulate high levels in chromoplast PG.

, 2022
(A) Total carotenoids were extracted from equal volumes of gradient fractions containing chloroplast (Chl) or chromoplast (Chr) PG. Lycopene was quantified. (B) Quantification of lutein, β-carotene, and violaxanthin/neoxanthin.

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.

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.

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)
