Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.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.

Carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening is modulated by the auxin-ethylene balance [PDF]
, 2015 Background : Tomato fruit ripening is controlled by ethylene and is characterized by a shift in color from green to red, a strong accumulation of lycopene, and a decrease in β-xanthophylls and chlorophylls.

Transcriptomic and DNA Methylation Profiles of Alternative Aphid Morphs and Genotypes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.Graph showing the correlation between differentially expressed genes and differentially methylated genes. There is no correlation between gene expression and DNA methylation level in pea aphid polyphenism. ABSTRACT Pea aphids can develop alternative morphs when exposed to stressful conditions, showing differences between genotypes in their stress ...

Metabolic Reprogramming Analysis of Wheat Response to Low Temperature Stress Under Nitrogen Supply
Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Low temperature stress triggers a defense network that maintains growth at the expense of inhibiting photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis. Temperature recovery effectively repairs low temperature‐induced damage and enhances stress resistance, while nitrogen supply can further augment these protective processes to strengthen cold tolerance ...

Transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) endosperm expressing daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) phytoene synthase accumulates phytoene, a key intermediate of provitamin A biosynthesis [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 1997 Rice (Oryza sativa L.), the major food staple for more than two billion people, contains neither β‐carotene (provitamin A) nor C40 carotenoid precursors thereof in its endosperm. To improve the nutritional value of rice, genetic engineering was chosen as a means to introduce the ability to make β‐carotene into rice endosperm tissue.

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Esterification enhances carotenoid retention during bread‐making
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4312-4319, May 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Carotenoids are plant‐derived antioxidants that contribute to human health and represent key quality traits in wheat‐based foods. However, they are highly unstable and prone to degradation during processing. Xanthophyll esterification has been identified as a natural mechanism that enhances carotenoid stability during grain storage.
