Abstract: Carotenoids, such as β-carotene, accumulate in chromoplasts of various fleshy fruits, awarding them with colors, aromas, and nutrients. The Orange ( CmOr ) gene controls β-carotene accumulation in melon fruit by posttranslationally enhancing carotenogenesis and… read more here.

Abstract: Chromoplasts are plant organelles with a unique ability to sequester and store massive carotenoids. Chromoplasts have been hypothesized to enable high levels of carotenoid accumulation due to enhanced sequestration ability or sequestration substructure formation. However,… read more here.
