Inheritance of Carotenoid Differences I N the Tomato Hybrid Yellow
ELLOW varieties of tomatoes have been known since the crop was first Y in t roduced into Europe shortly after the discovery of America, and were probably to be found in Mexico before the conquest (JENKINS 1949). HALSTED et al. (1905) reported on the red x yellow hybrid, establishing the fact that the color difference was due to segregation at a single locus, a conclusion that has been confirmed...
متن کاملTangerine dreams: cloning of carotenoid isomerase from Arabidopsis and tomato.
Carotenoids are vital components of photosynthetic cells, where they play important accessory roles in light harvesting and energy transfer to the chlorophylls, maintain structural integrity of the photosynthetic apparatus, and provide photoprotection against the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species that are by-products of photosynthesis. Violaxanthin and neoxanthin also serve as precurs...
متن کاملCarotenoids of the Apricot Tomato and Its Hybrids with Yellow and Tangerine.
HE red color of the cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. is due to T the carotenoid lycopene. LEROSEN et al. (1941) and ZECHMEISTER et al. (1941) first analyzed the carotenoids of yellow (rr) and tangerine (tt) strains, each of which differs from the red by a single recessive gene. MACKINNEY and JENKINS (1952), JENKINS and MACKINNEY (1953), and TOMES et al. (1953) have examined the ...
متن کاملCloning of tangerine from Tomato Reveals a Carotenoid Isomerase Essential for the Production of -Carotene and Xanthophylls in Plants
Carotenoid biosynthesis in plants has been described at the molecular level for most of the biochemical steps in the pathway. However, the cis-trans isomerization of carotenoids, which is known to occur in vivo, has remained a mystery since its discovery five decades ago. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of carotenoid isomerization, we have taken a genetic map-based approach to clone the ta...
