Integrated metabolic profiling and transcriptome analysis of pigment accumulation in Lonicera japonica flower petals during colour-transition

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Plants have remarkable diversity in petal colour through the biosynthesis and accumulation of various pigments. To better understand the mechanisms regulating petal pigmentation in Lonicera japonica, we used multiple approaches to investigate ...

An apple amiRNA efficiently silences the phytoene desaturase gene in apple.

, 2016
Artificial miRNA (amiRNA) is a powerful technology to silence genes of interest with a high specificity, either to validate their function or to create new traits. To set up such a gene regulation tool for apple, we designed two amiRNA constructs based on an apple endogenous miRNA backbone that was previously characterized (Md-miRNA156h), and we ...

Novel bioassay for the discovery of inhibitors of the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) and terpenoid pathways leading to carotenoid biosynthesis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway leads to the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate in plastids. It is a major branch point providing precursors for the synthesis of carotenoids, tocopherols, plastoquinone and the phytyl chain of ...

Effect of salt stress on expression of carotenoid pathway genes in tomato [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2011
Carotenoids, the naturally occurring isoprenoids form essential components of photosynthetic antenna and reaction centre complexes. Thus they play a significant role in absorption, dissipation and transfer of light energy for the process of ...

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

Scientific 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.

Molecular Characterization of Carotenoid Biosynthetic Genes and Carotenoid Accumulation in Lycium chinense

Molecules, 2014
Lycium chinense is a shrub that has health benefits and is used as a source of medicines in Asia. In this study, a full-length cDNA clone encoding β-ring carotene hydroxylase (LcCHXB) and partial-length cDNA clones encoding phytoene synthase (LcPSY ...
