Metabolite profiling of carotenoid and phenolic pathways in mutant and transgenic lines of tomato: identification of a high antioxidant fruit line

Phytochemistry
Marianne LongG Paul Bolwell

Abstract

Plant secondary metabolism is highly regulated within the major pathways to terpenoids, phenolics and alkaloids. Such regulation can occur at multiple levels from transcription through to the compartmentation of the product. However, the possibility exists for cross-talk between these pathways, the regulation of which is largely unknown at present. Such phenomena are important to understand in the application of plant breeding, where unintended effects of transgenesis or mutation can have an impact on the environment or human health. In an effort to improve dietary antioxidant content of crop plants, the tomato has been a major focus of effort for engineering both lipophilic antioxidants such as carotenoids and hydrophilic antioxidants such as flavonoid glycosides. In this study, a panel of transgenic and mutant tomato lines has been subjected to metabolite profiling in comparison with wild type Ailsa Craig for both carotenoids and phenolics. A range of mutants and transgenic lines were selected showing a range of phenotypes varying from down-regulation through to increased levels of lycopene and beta-carotene. All mutants altered in structural genes for carotenoid biosynthesis showed that perturbations in carotenoid biosynthes...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
