TL;DR: This review, contributed by scientists of complementary disciplines related to carotenoid research, covers recent advances and provides a perspective on future directions on the subjects of carotENoid metabolism, biotechnology, and nutritional and health benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of postharvest ethylene treatment on carotenoid accumulation and the expression of carotenoid biosynthetic genes in the flavedo of orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) fruit
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis during fruit maturation in the red-fleshed orange mutant Cara Cara.
TL;DR: Increased levels of isoprenoid precursors in the mutant that could be channeled to carotenoid biosynthesis may be related to the red-fleshed phenotype of Cara Cara, and the results suggest that an altered carOTenoid composition may conduct to a positive feedback regulatory mechanism ofCarotenoids biosynthesis in citrus fruits.
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
Molecular and functional characterization of a novel chromoplast-specific lycopene β-cyclase from Citrus and its relation to lycopene accumulation
TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of diverse alleles of the β-LCY2 gene, encoding enzymes with altered activity, with different transcript accumulation may be an additional regulatory mechanism of carotenoid synthesis involved in the accumulation of lycopene in red grapefruits.
