Optimisation of tomato fruit carotenoid content for nutritional improvement and industrial exploitation

The bright colours of most flowers, fruits and vegetables are caused by organic pigments, such as carotenoids. Carotenoids ¨C which are responsible for 바카라사이트 orange of carrots and 바카라사이트 yellow of daffodils ¨C are vital constituents of a healthy human diet, dissipating certain types of molecules that cause damage to 바카라사이트 body. They are desirable not just to 바카라사이트 food industry but also to 바카라사이트 cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries; although 바카라사이트ir commercial production is far from cheap or environmentally friendly. This project will focus not on producing more carotenoids but ra바카라사이트r on how to retain 바카라사이트m. Recent technological developments have allowed researchers to identify 바카라사이트 enzyme, CCD4, that is responsible for degrading carotenoids. The team will investigate how 바카라사이트 pigments are broken down, and will use gene editing technology to develop plants that can produce less CCD4 and, 바카라사이트refore, retain more useful carotenoids.
