Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Bleaching Herbicide Flurtamone Interferes with Phytoene Desaturase [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1990
The mode of action of the furanone herbicide flurtamone and derivatives was investigated with cress seedlings and with the unicellular cyanobacterium Anacystis. Either in the light or in the dark these compounds inhibited the formation of alpha- and beta-carotene and all of the xanthophylls in the seedlings.

Mycorrhiza‐induced resistance against Botrytis cinerea in tomato operates through the systemin signalling cascade

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3522-3539, September 2026.
Prosystemin expression in mycorrhizal plants and comparative analysis of prosystemin and mycorrhiza in induced resistance. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant resistance against necrotrophic fungi by priming jasmonic acid‐dependent defences.

The regulatory frameworks surrounding CRISPR‐edited papaya and their impact on international commerce

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6262-6270, 30 August 2026.
Abstract The papaya tree (Carica papaya L.), native to the Americas, is cultivated in tropical regions and holds substantial economic importance, with an estimated export volume of 365 000 t in 2023. However, diseases caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, and nematodes can lead to severe losses.

eQTL Meta‐Analysis Reveals Conserved and Population‐Specific Regulatory Variation Underlying Nutritional Trait Evolution and Domestication in Tomato

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 44, 7 August 2026.
A comprehensive meta‐analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) across five diverse tomato populations reveals a high‐resolution atlas of transcriptional regulation and uncovers conserved and population‐specific regulatory architectures underlying fruit nutritional quality traits, including flavonoids, sugars, organic acids, carotenoids ...

Assessment of carotenoid concentrations in red peppers (Capsicum annuum) under domestic refrigeration for three weeks as determined by HPLC-DAD

Food Chemistry: X, 2020
Red peppers (Capsicum annuum) are rich in carotenoids and are widely grown and consumed all over the world. Today’s consumption patterns are characterized by periodical purchases of food and longer food storage periods, including raw fruits and ...

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Capsanthin Biosynthesis and Sequestration in Processing Type Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. conoides)

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study establishes that fruit color divergence in Yanjiao pepper cultivars arises from hierarchical regulation of carotenoid metabolism, driven by yellow‐blue chromaticity variation and cultivar‐specific metabolic strategies. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for breeding peppers with enhanced color stability and nutraceutical value ...

A carotenoid-deficient mutant in Pantoea sp. YR343, a bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of Populus deltoides, is defective in root colonization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The complex interactions between plants and their microbiome can have a profound effect on the health and productivity of the plant host. A better understanding of the microbial mechanisms that promote plant health and stress tolerance will enable ...

Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...
