Plant carotenoids are synthesized and accumulated in plastids through a highly regulated pathway. Lycopene β-cyclase (LCYB) is key enzyme involved directly the synthesis of α-carotene β-carotene cyclization trans-lycopene.
Light stimulates carotenoid synthesis in plants during photomorphogenesis through the expression of PHYTOENE SYNTHASE (PSY), a key gene biosynthesis. The orange carrot (Daucus carota) synthesizes and accumulates high amounts carotenoids taproot that grows underground. Contrary to other organs, light impairs development represses carotenogenic genes, such as DcPSY1 DcPSY2, reducing accumulation. By means RNA sequencing, previous analysis, we observed PHYTOCHROME RAPIDLY REGULATED1 (DcPAR1) is...
ALFIN-like transcription factors (ALs) are involved in several physiological processes such as seed germination, root development and abiotic stress responses plants. In carrot (Daucus carota), the expression of DcPSY2, a gene encoding phytoene synthase required for carotenoid biosynthesis, is induced after salt abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Interestingly, DcPSY2 promoter contains multiple ALFIN response elements. By silico analysis, we identified two putative genes with molecular...
Carotenoids are pigments with important nutritional value in the human diet. As antioxidant molecules, they act as scavengers of free radicals enhancing immunity and preventing cancer cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, α-carotene β-carotene, main carotenoids carrots (Daucus carota) precursors vitamin A, whose deficiency diet can trigger night blindness macular degeneration. With aim increasing carotenoid content fruit flesh, three key genes pathway, phytoene synthase (DcPSY2) lycopene...
Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands. Approximately 10% patients with SS have pulmonary involvement as the first manifestation their most common being non-specific interstitial pneumonia. We present case a 51-year-old man organizing pneumonia presenting feature primary SS. Pulmonary uncommon, especially when pattern on CT-scan that organized Initial management includes steroids and other immunosuppressants...
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare type of non-Hodgkin (NHL) originated from mature post thymic T cells. They represent 1–3% NHL. Different subtypes have been described: kinase (ALK)-negative ALCL, ALK-positive ALCL and breast implant-associated ALCL. affects mainly the young has better prognosis. We present case report an adult woman with AKL-positive diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspirate (EBUS-TBNA). A 59-year-old women no history...
