Journal ArticleDOI
Genome, Transcriptome, and Functional Analyses of Penicillium expansum Provide New Insights Into Secondary Metabolism and Pathogenicity
Ana-Rosa Ballester,Marina Marcet-Houben,Elena Levin,Noa Sela,Cristina Selma-Lázaro,Lourdes Carmona,Michael Wisniewski,Samir Droby,Luis González-Candelas,Toni Gabaldón +9 more
TL;DR: Putative virulence factors in P. expansum were identified by means of a transcriptomic analysis of apple fruits during the course of infection and it was demonstrated that neither patulin nor citrinin are required by P. expandum to successfully infect apples.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel carotenoid cleavage activity involved in the biosynthesis of Citrus fruit-specific apocarotenoid pigments
María Jesús Rodrigo,Berta Alquézar,Enriqueta Alós,Victor Medina,Lourdes Carmona,Mark Bruno,Salim Al-Babili,Lorenzo Zacarías +7 more
TL;DR: A novel plant carotenoid cleavage activity targeting the 7′,8′ double bond of cyclic C40 carotanoids has been identified and suggested that the presented enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of C30 apocarotenoids in Citrus which are key pigments in fruit coloration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of coloration and carotenoid biosynthesis during postharvest storage of 'Navelina' orange fruit at 12 ◦ C
TL;DR: The stimulation of carotenoid biosynthesis during storage of ‘Navelina’ orange fruit at 12 °C improve not only peel and pulp coloration, but also pro-vitamin A activity of the flesh, and may then be a postharvest strategy to increase the nutritional and health-related benefits of citrus fruit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation in blood oranges during postharvest storage at different low temperatures.
TL;DR: Results indicated that dihydroflavonol channeling toward anthocyanin production was boosted during the storage at 9°C compared to 4°C, providing more leucoanthocyanidins to enzymes downstream in the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide synthesis by nitrate reductase is regulated during development in Aspergillus
Ana T. Marcos,María Sánchez Ramos,Jose F. Marcos,Lourdes Carmona,Joseph Strauss,Joseph Strauss,David Cánovas +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that NO production is increased at the early stages of the transition from vegetative growth to development in Aspergillus nidulans, suggesting a novel role for NR in linking metabolism and development.
