Divergent Regulatory Effects of Jasmonic Acid on Tomato Lycopene Biosynthesis Under Light and Dark Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism by which jasmonic acid (JA) regulates lycopene synthesis under light and dark conditions. In light, JA activates SlMYC2, which suppresses SlPIF1a and promotes SlPSY1 expression. In darkness, JA induces the acetyltransferase SlNATA1, which acetylates the dark‐accumulated SlPIF1a, thereby repressing SlPSY1 expression ...

Role of lycopene in mitochondrial protection during differential levels of oxidative stress in primary cortical neurons

open access: yesBrain Disorders, 2021
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a major contributor to intracellular organelle damage in neurons. ROS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is highly associated with impaired energy metabolism that occurs during neurodegeneration.

Lycopene and cardiovascular disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2000
Considerable evidence suggests that lycopene, a carotenoid without provitamin A activity found in high concentrations in a small set of plant foods, has significant antioxidant potential in vitro and may play a role in preventing prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease in humans. Tomato products, including ketchup, tomato juice, and pizza sauce, are
