Integrated analysis of carotenoid metabolites and transcriptome identifies key genes controlling carotenoid compositions and content in sweetpotato tuberous roots (Ipomoea batatas L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) with different depths of yellow color contains different compositions of carotenoids, which are beneficial for human health. In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of metabolomic and transcriptomic to identify

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Different Actinidia arguta Fruit Parts Reveals Difference of Light Response during Fruit Coloration

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Kiwifruit coloration is an important agronomic trait used to determine fruit quality, and light plays a vital role in the coloration process. The effect of light on fruit coloration has been studied in many species, but differences in the photoresponse ...

Sexually selected lip colour indicates male group-holding status in the mating season in a multi-level primate society [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Sexual selection typically produces ornaments in response to mate choice, and armaments in response to male–male competition. Unusually among mammals, many primates exhibit colour signals that may be related to one or both processes.

Supplementary Far-Red and Blue Lights Influence the Biomass and Phytochemical Profiles of Two Lettuce Cultivars in Plant Factory

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Three different LED spectra (W: White light; WFR: W + far-red light; WB: W + blue light) with similar photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) were designed to explore the effects of supplementary far-red and blue lights on leaf color, biomass and ...

Cationic Pretreatment for Reactive Dyeing of Cotton and its Simultaneous Antibacterial Functionalisation [PDF]

open access: yesTekstilec, 2020
Reactive dyes are chemically bonded to a cotton fibre surface. The anchor groups of dye molecules initiate this covalent bonding. In addition to this anchor group, reactive dyes also contain charged functional groups that are often negatively charged ...

Thermobiological effects of temperature‐induced color variations in Aglais urticae (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Coloration of animals is important for camouflage, for social behavior, or for physiological fitness. This study investigates the color variation in adults of Aglais urticae obtained on subjecting some pre‐imaginal stages to different temperature ...

Distance from human settlements favors wild‐type appearance of feral cats (Felis catus) in Mediterranean woodland

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Camouflage is a common trait enabling animals to avoid detection by predators and prey. Patterns such as spots and stripes are convergent across carnivore families, including felids, and are hypothesized to have adaptive value through camouflage.
