CAROTENOID ACCUMULATION AFFECTS REDOX STATUS, STARCH METABOLISM, AND FLAVONOID/ANTHOCYANIN ACCUMULATION IN CITRUS

Carotenoids are indispensable plant secondary metabolites that are involved in photosynthesis, antioxidation, and phytohormone biosynthesis. Carotenoids are likely involved in other biological functions that have yet to be discovered.

Cyclins are the essential regulatory subunits of cyclin-dependent protein kinases. They accumulate and disappear periodically at specific phases of the cell cycle. Here we investigated whether variations in cyclin mRNA levels in exponentiall[r]

With respect to the first set of issues, the analysis undertaken in the present chap- ter starts with the major macroeconomic imbalances that characterize the world economy today, which many observers fear may become unsustainable. This issue relates, at least in part, to the design of[r]

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-based transient assays have become a common tool for answering questions related to protein localization and gene expression in a cellular context. The use of these assays assumes that the transiently transformed cells are observed under relatively authentic physiological c[r]

Postreceptor Effects
Biological responses do not necessarily parallel hormone binding, and there- fore are not limited by the affinity of the receptor for the hormone. Because they depend on many postreceptor events, responses to some hormones may be at a maximum at concentrations of hormon[r]

The traditional Chinese medicinal plants Lycium barbarum L. and L. ruthenicum Murr. are valued for the abundance of bioactive carotenoids and anthocyanins in their fruits, respectively.
