Carotenoid metabolism during bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit development under different light conditions is regulated by biosynthesis and degradation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-21)
<b>Background:</b> Carotenoids are important pigments and precursors for central signaling molecules associated in fruit
development and ripening. Carotenoid metabolism has been studied especially in the climacteric tomato fruit but
the content of carotenoids and the regulation of their metabolism have been shown to be highly variable between
fruit species. Non-climacteric berries of the genus ...
On the developmental and environmental regulation of secondary metabolism in Vaccinium spp. berries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-18)
Secondary metabolites have important defense and signaling roles, and they contribute
to the overall quality of developing and ripening fruits. Blueberries, bilberries, cranberries,
and other Vaccinium berries are fleshy berry fruits recognized for the high levels of
bioactive compounds, especially anthocyanin pigments. Besides anthocyanins and
other products of the phenylpropanoid and flavonoid ...
Molecular Cloning and Expression Analysis of hyp-1 Type PR-10 Family Genes in Hypericum perforatum
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-21)
Hypericum perforatum L. is an important medicinal plant for the treatment of depression.
The plant contains bioactive hypericins that accumulate in dark glands present especially
in reproductive parts of the plant. In this study, pathogenesis-related class 10 (PR-10)
family genes were identified in H. perforatum, including three previously unidentified
members with sequence homology to hyp-1, a ...
