Life Cycle Impact Assessment of Microalgae and Synthetic Astaxanthin Pigments
Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2023 The marketability of fish depends on the visual appearance of the fish, so the feed ingredient pigment contributes to the nutritional value and visual appearance of the product. The benefits of a natural pigment derived from microalgae are the ecological

Evolution of the eyes of vipers with and without infrared-sensing pit organs [PDF]
, 2019 We examined lens and brille transmittance, photoreceptors, visual pigments, and visual opsin gene sequences of viperid snakes with and without infrared-sensing pit organs. Ocular media transmittance is high in both groups.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2014 Cone visual pigments are visual opsins that are present in vertebrate cone photoreceptor cells and act as photoreceptor molecules responsible for photopic vision. Like the rod visual pigment rhodopsin, which is responsible for scotopic vision, cone visual pigments contain the chromophore 11-cis-retinal, which undergoes cis-trans isomerization resulting

Visual pigments in a living fossil, the Australian lungfish
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background One of the greatest challenges facing the early land vertebrates was the need to effectively interpret a terrestrial environment. Interpretation was based on ocular adaptations evolved for an aquatic environment millions of years earlier.

Evolutionary ecology of opsin gene sequence, expression and repertoire. [PDF]
, 2017 Linking molecular evolution to biological function is a long-standing challenge in evolutionary biology. Some of the best examples of this involve opsins, the genes that encode the molecular basis of light reception.

Fruit ripening: dynamics and integrated analysis of carotenoids and anthocyanins
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Fruits are vital food resources as they are loaded with bioactive compounds varying with different stages of ripening. As the fruit ripens, a dynamic color change is observed from green to yellow to red due to the biosynthesis of pigments like

Inheritance of determinants of flower colour in tetraploid roses [PDF]
, 2009 The choice of selection breeding for crop improvement in cut roses requires a better understanding of biological mechanisms and knowledge of the inheritance of the major target traits which can lead to new or improved screening methods.
