Preliminary Data on the Safety of Phytoene- and Phytofluene-Rich Products for Human Use including Topical Application

open access: yesJournal of Toxicology, 2018
The colorless carotenoids phytoene and phytofluene are comparatively understudied compounds found in common foods (e.g., tomatoes) and in human plasma, internal tissues, and skin. Being naturally present in common foods, their intake at dietary levels is

Effect of diflufenican on total carotenoid and phytoene production in carrot suspension-cultured cells

open access: yes, 2019
Main Conclusion: Diflufenican increased 493-fold the level of phytoene. Diflufenican-induced inhibition of phytoene desaturase gene expression in carrot cells resulted in an increased production of phytoene. This work analyzes the effect of diflufenican,

Optimized TadA‐derived base editors efficiently manipulate mRNA splicing by A‐to‐G and C‐to‐K editing in potato

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Two optimized TadA‐derived base editors efficiently generate diverse splicing variants by targeting specific splice sites in potato. ABSTRACT Pre‐messenger RNA (pre‐mRNA) splicing is a critical mechanism for post‐transcriptional regulation in plants. Through alternative splicing, plants produce diverse transcriptomes and proteomes that finely regulate ...

Cytological and molecular characterization of carotenoid accumulation in normal and high-lycopene mutant oranges

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Ripe Cara Cara sweet orange contains 25 times as much carotenoids in flesh as Newhall sweet orange, due to high accumulation of carotenes, mainly phytoene, lycopene and phytofluene.
