RNA elements and their biotechnological applications in plants

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2517-2537, September 2025.
Summary Engineering of plants for improved traits and efficient heterologous protein production can be achieved by modifying or introducing cis‐ or trans‐acting RNA elements. The function of these elements depends not only on their nucleotide sequence but also on their highly dynamic higher order structures.

GmFER1, a soybean ferritin, enhances tolerance to salt stress and root rot disease and improves soybean yield

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3094-3112, August 2025.
Summary The plant stress response mechanism is activated by biotic and abiotic stresses, but its continuous activation typically affects growth. The role of ferritin in regulating biomass accumulation has been extensively characterized in diverse plant species; however, the underlying mechanisms through which it contributes to salt stress tolerance and

Fruit shading enhances peel color, carotenes accumulation and chromoplast differentiation in red grapefruit

, 2015
The distinctive color of red grapefruits is due to lycopene, an unusual carotene in citrus. It has been observed that red Star Ruby' (SR) grapefruits grown inside the tree canopy develop a more intense red coloration than those exposed to higher light ...

Optimization of Green Aqueous Extraction Process and Characteristics of Chromoplasts from Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum L.)

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the green aqueous extraction process of chromoplasts from goji berries, fresh fruits were used as raw materials, and single-factor experiments were conducted to examine the effects of extraction solvent, solid-liquid ratio, and filter ...

Isolation and functional characterization of Lycopene β-cyclase (CYC-B) promoter from Solanum habrochaites

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Carotenoids are a group of C40 isoprenoid molecules that play diverse biological and ecological roles in plants. Tomato is an important vegetable in human diet and provides the vitamin A precursor β-carotene. Genes encoding enzymes involved in

Stromule formation is dependent upon plastid size, plastid differentiation status and the density of plastids within the cell [PDF]

, 2004
Stromules are motile extensions of the plastid envelope membrane, whose roles are not fully understood. They are present on all plastid types but are more common and extensive on non-green plastids that are sparsely distributed within the cell.

Chromoplast associated proteins from color storage root diversity in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). [PDF]

, 2004
Accumulation of b-carotene in underground storage organ might result from a variety of regulatory mechanism, including steps in the syntheses pathway and its end product sequestration in the chromoplast. Such mechanisms may be especially important in non-

A Tetratricopeptide Repeat Protein Regulates Carotenoid Biosynthesis and Chromoplast Development in Monkeyflowers (Mimulus)

, 2017
The incredible diversity of floral color and pattern in nature is largely determined by the transcriptional regulation of anthocyanin and carotenoid biosynthetic genes.

Unique chromoplast organisation and carotenoid gene expression in carotenoid-rich carrot callus [PDF]

, 2018
Main conclusion The new model orange callus line, similar to carrot root, was rich in carotenoids due to altered expression of some carotenogenesis-associated genes and possessed unique diversity of chromoplast ultrastructure.
