Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]
, 2019 Chloroplasts are essential for autonomous plant growth, and their biogenesis is a complex process requiring both plastid and nuclear genome. One of the essential factors required for chloroplast biogenesis are carotenoids.

Uncovering the Hidden Potential of Phytoene Production by the Fungus Blakeslea trispora
FoodsPhytoene is an uncommon linear carotene within the carotenoid group as it is colorless due to its short chromophore. Recent research constitutes a relatively new area which has emerged from phytoene’s importance as a major dietary carotenoid promoting ...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Pathway-Level Analysis of Kernel Color in Maize. [PDF]
, 2019 Rapid development and adoption of biofortified, provitamin A-dense orange maize (Zea mays L.) varieties could be facilitated by a greater understanding of the natural variation underlying kernel color, including as it relates to carotenoid biosynthesis ...

Phytoene synthase 2 can compensate for the absence of PSY1 in the control of color in Capsicum fruit
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020 PSY2 can compensate for the absence of PSY1 in yellow pepper fruit, allowing a basal level of carotenoid accumulation to occur, and hence it should be considered alongside PSY1 and CCS as an essential gene in the control of fruit coloration.

The stereospecific biosynthesis of phytoene and polyunsaturated carotenes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1967 1. The incorporation of [2-(14)C,(5R)-5-(3)H(1)]mevalonic acid and [2-(14)C,5-(3)H(2)]-mevalonic acid into phytoene, phytofluene, zeta-carotene, neurosporene, alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-carotene and lycopene by slices of fruit from two tomato mutants (delta and tangerine) and into alpha- and beta-carotene by bean leaves has been studied. 2. In the

Algal Research, 2020 The halotolerant chlorophyte microalga, Dunaliella salina, is one of the richest sources of carotenoids and will accumulate up to 10% of the dry biomass as β-carotene, depending on the integrated amount of light to which the alga is exposed during a ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the
