Carotenoids contribute to photosynthesis, photoprotection, phytohormone and
apocarotenoid biosynthesis in plants. Carotenoid-derived metabolites control plant growth …

Plant and human tissues (eg, leaves, retina) share the need for carotenoids to protect
against light‐induced and other oxidative stresses. While plants synthesize carotenoids de …

Leaves are primary plant organs harbouring chloroplasts that enable the sensing of
changes in environmental conditions and contribute to maintaining cellular homeostasis …

Carotenoids are bioactive compounds with remarkably special properties produced by
plants in response to internal and external stresses. In this review paper, we focus on the …

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

A substantial proportion of the dazzling diversity of colors displayed by living organisms
throughout the tree of life is determined by the presence of carotenoids, which most often …

The CO2 saturation point can reach as high as 1819 μmol· mol− 1 in carrot (Daucus carota
L.). In recent years, carrot has been cultivated in out-of-season greenhouses, but the …

Carotenoids play a crucial protective role in photosynthetic organisms as quenchers of
singlet oxygen (1O2). This function occurs either via a physical mechanism involving thermal …

Stress in plants can be defined as any external factor that negatively influences plant growth,
productivity, reproductive capacity or survival. As with any living organism, plants have an …

Carotenoids play an important role in plant adaptation to fluctuating environments as well as
in the human diet by contributing to the prevention of chronic diseases. Insights have been …
