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

Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear hormone receptor that plays a key role in adipocyte differentiation. PPARα belongs to the same nuclear receptor family and regulates genes involved in fatty acid oxidation. Previously, we had shown that lycopene (LYC) feeding decreased expression of PPARγ and its target gene, fatty acid ...
