Phytoene desaturation – “complex” vs. “simple”.

, 2012
Left, the plant/cyanobacterial system consisting of the two desaturases, phytoene desaturase (PDS) and ζ-carotene desaturase (ZDS). The pathway involves specific poly-cis-intermediates and results in the formation of 7,9,9′7′-tetra-cis-lycopene ...

Comparison of carotenoid, chlorophyll concentrations and their biosynthetic transcript levels in different coloured cauliflower

Horticultural Plant Journal
Carotenoids and chlorophylls are among the most widely distributed pigments in nature that play essential roles in the photosynthetic apparatus and confer diverse colours in plants. Among all vegetables, cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. ssp.

Genetic modification of the soybean to enhance the β-carotene content through seed-specific expression. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The carotenoid biosynthetic pathway was genetically manipulated using the recombinant PAC (Phytoene synthase-2A-Carotene desaturase) gene in Korean soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Kwangan). The PAC gene was linked to either the β-conglycinin (β) or CaMV-35S (

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Enzyme-Kinetic Studies on the Interaction of Norflurazon with Phytoene Desaturase

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1989
Bleaching herbicides inhibit carotene biosynthesis in photosynthetic organisms. The interaction of norflurazon [4-chloro-5-methylamino-2-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridazin-3(2H)one] with its target enzyme phytoene desaturase, has been characterized by enzyme-kinetic studies.

Two Aquaporins Mitigate Growth‐Defence Trade‐Offs by Facilitating CO2 and H2O2 Transport in Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4487-4499, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The growth‐defence trade‐offs pose a major challenge to breeding high‐yield and disease‐resistant crops. Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and other small compounds, therefore regulating the growth‐defence trade‐offs.

Robust CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing tool for banana and plantain (Musa spp.)

Current Plant Biology, 2020
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system enables precision editing of the genome of many plant species. Developing robust gene editing tools in banana and plantain would pave the way

Metabolic Reprogramming of a Phenolic Acid by a Plant P450 Monooxygenase Reverses Bacterial Immunosuppression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4672-4688, July 2026.
Ralstonia solanacearum suppresses P450 activity to block VA‐to‐VanA conversion, leading to VA accumulation and compromised immunity. ABSTRACT Soil acidification often exacerbates plant diseases caused by soil‐borne pathogens like Ralstonia solanacearum, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. This study unveils a sophisticated metabolic

Identification and Functional Characterization of Tomato CircRNAs Derived from Genes Involved in Fruit Pigment Accumulation

Scientific Reports, 2017
CircRNAs, a class of widespread circular RNAs produced from precursor mRNA back-splicing, have been implicated in regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes, but their biological functions in plants have not yet been elucidated.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.
