Respiratory processes in non-photosynthetic plastids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Chlororespiration is a respiratory process located in chloroplast thylakoids which consists in an electron transport chain from NAD(P)H to oxygen. This respiratory chain involves the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex, the plastoquinone pool and the plastid ...

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2204-2219, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Remain thou as thou art: The bargain of vegetabling

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Vegetabling resulted in the development of a unique food source comprised of highly immature plant organs that delivers desirable textures, flavors, and nutritional diversity to human diets. In contrast to some dry‐seeded crops, perishable vegetables require enormous inputs of energy and technology during the postharvest period to preserve ...

The Specialized Roles in Carotenogenesis and Apocarotenogenesis of the Phytoene Synthase Gene Family in Saffron [PDF]

, 2019
Crocus sativus stigmas are the main source of crocins, which are glucosylated apocarotenoids derived from zeaxanthin cleavage that give saffron its red color.

The combined effects of Golden2‐like 2 and Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 control the fruit pigmentation in pepper

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Fruit pigmentation mainly controlled by chlorophyll, carotenoids, and flavonoids is an important phenomenon for fortifying the nutritional and esthetic value of humans. Our previous study identified Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 (PRR2) as a regulator of fruit pigmentation through its association with the c1 locus.

Influence of Cooking, Dehydration, and Freeze‐Drying on Nutrient Retention and Antioxidant Capacity in Tomato Cultivars

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores how different thermal processing methods influence the amount of bioactive compounds in five tomato varieties. The samples were subjected to three processing techniques: cooking, dehydration and freeze‐drying, which, although commonly used in the food industry to increase the shelf life of foods, could affect the nutritional content
