Herbicidal Inhibition of Carotenogenesis Detected by HPLC
The target sites o f three herbicides which inhibit carotenoid biosynthesis have been charac terized using H PLC analysis o f pigm ent extracts from two higher plant systems, carro t cell suspension cultures and barley seedlings. Diflufenican causes an accum ulation o f phytoene and phytofluene. D ichlorm ate causes accum ulation o f phytoene, phytofluene, ^-carotene, neurosporene and ß-zeacar...
متن کاملDaily intake of a formulated tomato drink affects carotenoid plasma and lymphocyte concentrations and improves cellular antioxidant protection.
The salutary characteristics of the tomato are normally related to its content of carotenoids, especially lycopene, and other antioxidants. Our purpose was to verify whether the daily intake of a beverage prototype called Lyc-o-Mato((R)) containing a natural tomato extract (Lyc-o-Mato((R)) oleoresin 6 %) was able to modify plasma and lymphocyte carotenoid concentrations, particularly those of l...
متن کاملCarotenogenesis associated with arthrosporulation of Trichophyton mentagrophytes.
Carotenoid pigments were demonstrated in arthrospores of the dermatophyte Trichophyton mentagrophytes but were absent from hyphae and microconidia of this fungus. Incubation at higher temperatures (39 degrees C) allowed arthrosporulation to occur, but essentially no carotenoid was detected in such arthrospores. The carotenoid formation in arthrosporulating T. mentagrophytes did not appear to be...
متن کاملβ-Carotene and other carotenoids in protection from sunlight.
Protection against skin damage from sunlight by nutritional means has been examined. Likewise, there has been work on the topical application of phytochemicals to the skin. This review focuses on the nutritional aspect of phytochemicals in humans-ie, the provision of carotenoid micronutrients by dietary means to the skin and their role in protection. Human intervention studies have documented p...
متن کاملCarotenoid biosynthesis by a cell-free preparation from a Flavobacterium species.
Previous work with Flavobacterium strain R1519 has involved the use of inhibitors, especially nicotine, to demonstrate the conversions, in vioo, of lycopene (#,$-carotene) into P-carotene (P,P-carotene) and of lycopene, 8-carotene and rubixanthin (PAcaroten-3-01) into P-cryptoxanthin (D,P-caroten-3-01) and zeaxanthin (D,P-carotene3,3'-diol) (McDermott et al., 1974). The next aim was to develop ...
