An engineered extraplastidial pathway for carotenoid biofortification of leaves

Andersen, Trine B.; Llorente, Briardo; Morelli, Luca; Torres-Montilla, Salvador; Bordanaba-Florit, Guillermo; Espinosa, Fausto A.; Rodriguez-Goberna, Maria Rosa; Campos, Narciso; Olmedilla-Alonso, Begoña; Llansola-Portoles, Manuel J.; Pascal, Andrew A.; Rodriguez-Concepcion, Manuel (Blackwell Publishing, 2021-05)

[EN] Carotenoids are lipophilic plastidial isoprenoids highly valued as nutrients and natural pigments. A correct balance of chlorophylls and carotenoids is required for photosynthesis and therefore highly regulated, making ...
Boosting pro-vitamin A content and bioaccessibility in leaves by combining engineered biosynthesis and storage pathways with high-light treatments

Morelli, Luca; Pérez-Colao, Pablo; Reig-Lopez, Diego; Di, Xueni; Llorente, Briardo; Rodríguez-Concepción, Manuel (Blackwell Publishing, 2024-08)

[EN] Biofortification of green leafy vegetables with pro-vitamin A carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, has remained challenging to date. Here, we combined two strategies to achieve this goal. One of them involves producing ...
Dually biofortified cisgenic tomatoes with increased flavonoids and branched-chain amino acids content

Vazquez-Vilar, Marta; Fernandez-del-Carmen, Asun; Garcia-Carpintero, Victor; Drapal, Margit; Presa Castro, Silvia; Ricci, Dorotea; Diretto, Gianfranco; Rambla Nebot, Jose Luis; Fernandez-Muñoz, Rafael; Espinosa-Ruiz, Ana; Fraser, Paul D.; Martin, Cathie; GRANELL RICHART, ANTONIO; Orzáez Calatayud, Diego Vicente (Blackwell Publishing, 2023-12)

[EN] Higher dietary intakes of flavonoids may have a beneficial role in cardiovascular disease prevention. Additionally, supplementation of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in vegan diets can reduce risks associated to ...
Engineering synthetic pathways for βcarotene production in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves

Reig López, Diego (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-07-30)

[ES] Los carotenoides son pigmentos plastídicos de interés nutricional como precursores de la vitamina A y como antioxidantes y fitonutrientes saludables. Se han desarrollado diversos métodos para incrementar la producción ...
Making extra room for carotenoids in plant cells: new opportunities for biofortification

Torres-Montilla, Salvador; Rodriguez-Concepcion, Manuel (Elsevier, 2021-11)

[EN] Plant carotenoids are essential for photosynthesis and photoprotection and provide colors in the yellow to red range to non-photosynthetic organs such as petals and ripe fruits. They are also the precursors of ...
Nutritional enrichment of plant leaves by combining genes promoting tocopherol biosynthesis and storage

Morelli, Luca; García Romañach, Laura; Glauser, Gaetan; Shanmugabalaji, Venkatasalam; Kessler, Felix; RODRIGUEZ-CONCEPCION, Manuel (MDPI AG, 2023-02)

[EN] The enrichment of plant tissues in tocochromanols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) is an important biotechnological goal due to their vitamin E and antioxidant properties. Improvements based on stimulating tocochromanol ...
Transient expression systems to rewire plant carotenoid metabolism

Rodríguez -Concepción, Manuel; Daròs, José-Antonio (Elsevier, 2022-04)

[EN] Enrichment of foodstuffs with health-promoting metabolites such as carotenoids is a powerful tool to fight against unhealthy eating habits. Dietary carotenoids are vitamin A precursors and reduce risk of several ...
