(Springer, 2020)Carotenoids are terpenoid pigments synthesized by all photosynthetic and some non-photosynthetic organisms. In plants, these lipophilic compounds are involved in photosynthesis, photoprotection, and phytohormone synthesis. ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Reductions in crop yields brought about by abiotic stress are expected to increase as climate change, and other factors, generate harsher environmental conditions in regions traditionally used for cultivation. Although ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2009)En Chile, Eucalyptus globulus es una de las especies forestales de mayor importancia, debido a su rápido crecimiento y a la calidad de su madera. Estas características hacen que sea una especie de alto rendimiento y de ...
-
(Springer New York, 2016)© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. Carotenoids are precursors of carotenoid derived molecules termed apocarotenoids, which include isoprenoids with important functions in plantenvironment interactions ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013)Carrot (Daucus carota) is a biannual plant that accumulates massive amounts of carotenoid pigments in the storage root. Although the root of carrot plants was white before domestication, intensive breeding generated the ...
-
(Springer New York, 2016)© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.Carotenoids are the most important biocolor isoprenoids responsible for yellow, orange and red colors found in nature. In plants, they are synthesized in plastids of ...
-
(Springer New York, 2016)© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. Carrot (Daucus carota) is one of the most important vegetable cultivated worldwide and the main source of dietary provitamin A. Contrary to other plants, almost all ...
-
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2008)Carotenoids are synthesized in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In plants and algae, these lipophilic molecules possess antioxidant properties acting as reactive oxygen species scavengers and exert functional roles ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2016)Carotenoids and chlorophylls are photosynthetic pigments synthesized in plastids from metabolic precursors provided by the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. The first two steps in the MEP pathway are catalyzed ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Daucus carotais abiennale cropthatdevelopsanedible storageroot.Orange carrots,the mostconsumed cultivar worldwide, accumulate high levels of β-carotene and α-carotene in the storage root during secondary growth. Genes ...

-
(Elsevier, 2020)Carotenoids are plastid isoprenoid pigments that play critical roles in light harvesting, photoprotection, and phytohormone biosynthesis. They are also vitamin-A precursors and antioxidant molecules important for human ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)Light stimulates the biosynthesis of carotenoids and regulates the development of plastid structures to accommodate these photoprotective pigments. Work with Arabidopsis revealed molecular factors coordinating carotenoid ...
-
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)The expression of Dclcyb1 in tobacco induces a positive feedback on the isoprenoid, carotenoid, gibberellin and chlorophyll pathways leading to an enhancement in fitness, biomass, photosynthetic efficiency and carotenoid ...
-
Levels of Lycopene b-Cyclase 1 Modulate Carotenoid Gene Expression and Accumulation in Daucus carota (PLoS ONE, 2013)Plant carotenoids are synthesized and accumulated in plastids through a highly regulated pathway. Lycopene b-cyclase (LCYB) is a key enzyme involved directly in the synthesis of a-carotene and b-carotene through the ...
-
(2012)Carrot is an important nutritional crop due to the high levels of pro-vitamin A carotenoids (β-carotene and, to a lower extent, α-carotene) that accumulate in its storage root during secondary growth. In this work we show ...
-
(Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2008-12-22)Carotenoids are colored terpenes synthesized in plants, algae and some yeasts and bacteria. In plants and algae, these lipophilic molecules exert functional roles in hormone synthesis, photosynthesis, photomorphogenesis ...
-
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)© 2015 Aguayo, Cáceres, Fuentealba, Muñoz, Stange, Cabrera and Handford. Polyols are enzymatically-produced plant compounds which can act as compatible solutes during periods of abiotic stress. Nicotinamide adenine ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Lipoic acid (LA) and its reduced form (dihydrolipoic acid, DHLA) have unique antioxidant properties among such molecules. Moreover, after a process termed lipoylation, LA is an essential prosthetic group covalently-attached ...
-
(2012)Background:Aloe vera, a plant with crassulacean acid metabolism naturally adapted to water deficit, was introduced in the semi-arid regions of Chile in 1999.Aims: Our objective was to evaluate how A. vera scavenged the ...
