Reducing PSY activity fine tunes threshold levels of a cis-carotene-derived signal that regulates the PIF3/HY5 module and plastid biogenesis

The paper identifies PSY genetic variants that fine-tune cis-carotene levels, affecting the PIF3/HY5 module and plastid biogenesis in Arabidopsis.

An energy-saving glasshouse film reduces seasonal, and cultivar dependent Capsicum yield due to light limited photosynthesis

This study shows that an energy-saving glasshouse film reduces Capsicum yield by limiting photosynthesis, with greater effects during descending photoperiods.

GOLDEN TANGERINE TOMATO ROOTS SHOW INCREASED ACCUMULATION OF ACYCLIC CAROTENOIDS, LESS ABSCISIC ACID, DROUGHT SENSITIVITY, AND IMPAIRED ENDOMYCORRHIZAL COLONIZATION

This study shows that golden tangerine tomato roots accumulate acyclic carotenes, have less abscisic acid, are drought sensitive, and show impaired mycorrhizal colonization compared to wild-type plants.

Smart Film Impacts Stomatal Sensitivity of Greenhouse Capsicum Through Altered Light

This study examines how smart glass affects stomatal sensitivity in Capsicum plants by altering light conditions, finding that light intensity is more critical than spectral quality for stomatal responses.

A cis-carotene derived apocarotenoid regulates etioplast and chloroplast development

Carotenoids are not just required as core components for plastid biogenesis, they can be cleaved into an apocarotenoid signal that regulates etioplast and chloroplast development during extended periods of darkness.
