A Study on the Cell Layer Patterns of a Citrus Periclinal Chimera Reveals β‐Cryptoxanthin Regulation in Citrus Fruits

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 41, November 6, 2025.
Researchers have identified a citrus chimera with distinctive tissue origins and carotenoid profiles. It is discovered that fruit tissues develop from all three cell layers but in different proportions. A key transcription factor, MYB107, regulates β‐cryptoxanthin production by directly activating carotenoid biosynthesis genes, explaining why some ...

Serum Testosterone Is Reduced Following Short-Term Phytofluene, Lycopene, or Tomato Powder Consumption in F344 Rats [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2006
Elevated serum androgens are associated with increased prostate cancer risk. Tomato consumption is also associated with reduced prostate cancer incidence, and the primary tomato carotenoid, lycopene, may modulate androgen activation in the prostate, yet little is known about other tomato carotenoids.

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Daily intake of a formulated tomato drink affects carotenoid plasma and lymphocyte concentrations and improves cellular antioxidant protection

, 2005
The salutary characteristics of the tomato are normally related to its content of carotenoids, especially lycopene, and other antioxidants. Our purpose was to verify whether the daily intake of a beverage prototype called Lyc-o-Mato((R)) containing a ...

Probing the Effect of Ultrasonication, Probiotic Lacto‐Fermentation, and Blanching on Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidants Activities, and Antinutrients of Tomato

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
The present study was investigated to assess the effect of lactic acid fermentation (LAB, 24 h), ultrasonication (10, 20, and 30 min), and blanching (90°C, 1 min) on the nutrients, antinutrients, and antioxidant activities. Among various processing treatments, LAB fermentation anticipated the highest decline in phytates, oxalates, glycoalkaloids, and ...

Natural allelic variation of basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor 25 regulates carotenoid biosynthesis in sweet potato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2627-2644, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoid‐rich orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important staple diet and source of nutrition in developing countries, including Africa and Asia. However, the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis remains to be better understood. A natural allelic variation closely linked to carotenoid biosynthesis was identified in the promoter region
