The FIBRILLIN multigene family in tomato, their roles in plastoglobuli structure and metabolism. [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement A multiplex CRISPR/Cas approach has been used to characterise members of the FIBRILLIN (FBN) multigene family, through the generation and characterisation of independent and high‐order mutants. Molecular and biochemical characterisation has been performed, showing functional redundancy between members and the roles of FBN in ...

Phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene from tomato powder differentially accumulate in tissues of male Fisher 344 rats [PDF]
Nutrition Research, 2007 Tomato product consumption is inversely related to prostate cancer incidence, and lycopene (LYC) has been implicated in reduced prostate cancer risk. The contribution of other tomato carotenoids, phytoene (PE) and phytofluene (PF), towards prostate cancer risk has not been adequately studied.

Improving the antinutritional profiles of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) moderately impacts carotenoid bioaccessibility but not mineral solubility [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCommon beans are a common staple food with valuable nutritional qualities, but their high contents in antinutritional factors (ANFs) can decrease the bioavailability of (i) fat-soluble micronutrients including carotenoids and (ii) minerals. Our objective

Effect of Fluridone on Roots and Leaf Buds Development in Stem Cuttings of Salix babylonica (L.) ‘Tortuosa’ and Related Metabolic and Physiological Traits [PDF]
MoleculesThe herbicide fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-trifluoromethyl (phenyl)]-4(1H)-pyridone) interferes with carotenoid biosynthesis in plants by inhibiting the conversion of phytoene to phytofluene.

Stereoisomers of Colourless Carotenoids from the Marine Microalga Dunaliella salina
Molecules, 2020 Carotenoids comprise a diverse range of naturally occurring stereoisomers, which differ in their physico-chemical properties. Their biosynthesis begins with phytoene, which is a rarity among carotenoids because it is colourless.
