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.

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

Transcriptome analysis in tissue sectors with contrasting crocins accumulation provides novel insights into apocarotenoid biosynthesis and regulation during chromoplast biogenesis

Scientific Reports, 2018
Crocins, the red soluble apocarotenoids of saffron, accumulate in the flowers of Crocus species in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. In Crocus sieberi, crocins accumulate in stigmas but also in a distinct yellow tepal sector, which we ...

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 ...

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 ...

Artificial chromoplast biogenesis

, 2019
In the present invention, we show for the first time that the supply of phytoene to feed the carotenoid pathway functions as a primary determinant of chromoplast biogenesis in green tissues.
