Crocins and picrocrocin are high-value hydrophilic pigments produced in saffron used commercially the food pharmaceutical industries. These apocarotenoids derived from oxidative cleavage of zeaxanthin by specific carotenoid dioxygenases. The pathway for crocins biosynthesis was introduced into tomato using fruit constitutive promoters resulted 14.48 mg/g 2.92 DW, without compromising plant growth. strategy involved expression CsCCD2L to produce crocetin dialdehyde...
Efficient isolation of male gametes has enabled unprecedented advances in omics research, crucial for elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing gametogenesis and fertilization. In this study, we developed a method isolating generative sperm cells from economically important crop Solanum lycopersicum. A double fluorescent marker line was generated tomato variety Micro-Tom, employing mTurquoise mScarlet-I proteins under control promoters exhibiting preferential activity cells,...
Crocins are high-value water soluble pigments that have long been recognized for their medicinal properties, and whose demand has increased worldwide in recent years. In the present study transgenic tomato fruits engineered production of crocins hp3/Bsh mutants with alterations carotenoid metabolism, combined to increase levels fruits. Tomato from F4 plants showed high antioxidant capacity crocin-rich juice produced fruit was protected neuroblastoma cells against oxidative insult, through...
Saffron spice owes its commercial appreciation to specific apocarotenoids: crocins, picrocrocin, and safranal. In Crocus sativus, these compounds are biosynthesized from zeaxanthin through oxidative cleavage by the carotenoid dioxygenase 2 (CCD2). Transgenic tomato plants expressing CsCCD2 in fruit, named Tomaffron, accumulate high levels of saffron apocarotenoids despite low substrate availability for CsCCD2. present study, has been introduced into Xantomato; this variety accumulates...
A dose of proanthocyanidins with satiating properties proved to be able limit body weight increase several weeks after administration under exposure a cafeteria diet. Here we describe some the molecular targets and duration effects. We treated rats 500 mg grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE)/kg BW for ten days. Seven or seventeen last GSPE dose, while animals were on diet, used reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) measure mRNA key energy metabolism enzymes from...
