Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

The chloroplast-associated protein degradation pathway controls chromoplast development and fruit ripening in tomato

, 2021
The maturation of green fleshy fruit to become colourful and flavoursome is an important strategy for plant reproduction and dispersal. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and many other species, fruit ripening is intimately linked to the biogenesis of ...

Antioxidants in Plant‐Based Food Matrices: From Structure–Activity and Degradation Kinetics to Formulation Design

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...

Impact of tomato variety and homogenization pressure on in vitro lipid digestion and lycopene bioaccessibility in tomato emulsions

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 222-236, June 2026.
Tomato variety and processing impact lycopene bioaccessibility. Tomato emulsions with high pectin content decreased the in vitro lipid digestion and negatively affected lycopene bioaccessibility. High pressure homogenization may enhance the release of lycopene into emulsion oil droplets, but it may also reduce the transfer of lycopene into the micellar

From plant to fabric: Environmental opportunities associated with annatto dye for sustainable development in the textile industry

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 333-353, June 2026.
Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

A plastid terminal oxidase associated with carotenoid desaturation during chromoplast differentiation [PDF]

, 2000
The Arabidopsis IMMUTANS gene encodes a plastid homolog of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase, which is associated with phytoene desaturation. Upon expression in Escherichia coli, this protein confers a detectable cyanide-resistant electron transport ...

Polyamine treatments: an effective strategy to improve crop yield and fruit colour and to preserve quality of ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit during storage at chilling temperatures

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4101-4112, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change in Spain is altering the optimal conditions for producing high‐quality ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit, due to reduced colour development in husk and arils. In addition, the pomegranate requires storage above 7–10 °C, depending on cultivar, to preserve its quality because it is susceptible to chilling injury (CI ...

Chromoplasts in the sepals of Physalis alkekengi: The effect of norflurazon on chromoplast differentiation

Acta Botanica Croatica, 1999
The differentiation of chromoplasts in the sepals of Physalis alkekengi was studied by light- and electron-microscopy and pigment analyses. The development of the chromoplasts from the chloroplasts started about four weeks after antítesis and, within the next two weeks resulted in the formation of small electron-transparent crystalloids connected to ...
