Analysis of al-2 mutations in Neurospora.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The orange pigmentation of the fungus Neurospora crassa is due to the accumulation of the xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin and precursor carotenoids.

Genetic stability developed for β-carotene synthesis in BR29 rice line using dihaploid homozygosity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Obtaining transgenic crop lines with stable levels of carotenoids is highly desirable. We addressed this issue by employing the anther culture technique to develop dihaploid lines containing genes involved in β-carotene metabolism.

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 ...

Engineering of Yarrowia lipolytica for production of astaxanthin
Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2017 Astaxanthin is a red-colored carotenoid, used as food and feed additive. Astaxanthin is mainly produced by chemical synthesis, however, the process is expensive and synthetic astaxanthin is not approved for human consumption. In this study, we engineered

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5987-6009, July 2026.Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.

Unraveling transcriptomics of sorghum grain carotenoids: a step forward for biofortification
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is a promising target for pro-vitamin A biofortification as it is a global staple crop, particularly in regions where vitamin A deficiency is prevalent.

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.
