Carotenoids are isoprenoid metabolites synthesized de novo in all photosynthetic
organisms. Carotenoids are essential for plants with diverse functions in photosynthesis …

Photosynthesis is crucial for sustaining life on this planet and necessary for plant growth and
development. Abiotic stresses such as high and low temperatures, and excess, or deficit of …

Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic and some non‐
photosynthetic organisms. They are essential for photosynthesis and contribute to many …

Isoprene is a clear, colorless, volatile 5-carbon hydrocarbon that is one monomer of all
cellular isoprenoids and a platform chemical with multiple applications in industry. Many …

Light quality and intensity can have a significant impact on plant health and crop
productivity. Chlorophylls and carotenoids are classes of plant pigments that are responsible …

Improving yield, nutritional value and tolerance to abiotic stress are major targets of current
breeding and biotechnological approaches that aim at increasing crop production and …

Restricted genetic diversity can supply only a limited number of elite genes for modern plant
cultivation and transgenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that rational design enables the …

Soil salinization poses severe abiotic stress that adversely affects plant growth and
development, ultimately threatening global food security by inducing physiological …

Plant carotenoids are synthesized and accumulated in plastids through a highly regulated
pathway. Lycopene β-cyclase (LCYB) is a key enzyme involved directly in the synthesis of α …

Dwarfing is a pivotal agronomic trait affecting both yield and quality. Citrus species exhibit
substantial variation in plant height, among which internode length is a core element …
