• Biosynthesis of plant pigments: anthocyanins, betalains and carotenoids. (2008, background): “terized (see reviews by Cunningham and Gantt, 1998; Hirschberg, 2001; Howitt and Pogson, 2006).”
• Stimulation of coloration and carotenoid biosynthesis during postharvest storage of 'Navelina' orange fruit at 12 ◦ C (2012, background): “Carotenoids are a large family of isoprenoid compounds which impart attractive colors to many fruit and vegetables (Hirschberg, 2001; DellaPenna and Pogson, 2006).”
• Comparative fruit colouration in watermelon and tomato (2005, background): “The immature tomato fruit is green and thus accumulates xanthophylls, which is comparable to green leaf tissue (Bramley, 2002; Hirschberg, 2001), whereas the young watermelon fruit mesocarp is usually white and contains only trace amounts of carotenoids”
• Regulation and Manipulation of the Biosynthesis of Abscisic Acid, Including the Supply of Xanthophyll Precursors (2005, background): “We have also confirmed earlier findings that the LeCrtR-b2 gene is highly upregulated in mature tomato flowers, associated with xanthophyll accumulation in the petals; but our results with leaves appear to indicate that this tomato BCH gene is not ‘‘exclusively expressed in the flower’’ (Hirschberg ”
• Vitamin synthesis in plants: tocopherols and carotenoids. (2006, background): “The initial steps of plant carotenoid synthesis and their chemical properties have been thoroughly discussed in prior reviews, and readers are referred to these for more detail (28, 29, 33, 49, 104).”
• Ethylene and Fruit Ripening (2007, background): “For example, cell wall hydrolases, the enzymes involved in carotenoid synthesis and sugar metabolism, and some of the enzymes involved in the generation of flavor and aroma compounds have been characterized (Chen and others 2004a, b; Fridman and others 2004; Hirschberg 2001; Rose and Bennett 1999; T”
• Molecular physiology of development and quality of citrus (2008, background): “Cyclization of lycopene, the first branching point, by ‐lycopene cyclase ( ‐LCY) leads to ‐carotene and its xanthophyll derivatives, while cyclization by ‐LCY and e‐LCY leads to ‐carotene and lutein (Hirschberg, 2001).”
• Development of a codominant CAPS marker for allelic selection between canary yellow and red watermelon based on SNP in lycopene β-cyclase (LCYB) gene (2007, background): “oid biosynthesis in plants (Giuliano et al. 2000; Hirschberg 2001; Isaacson et al. 2002, 2004).”
• Mechanism of Fruit Ripening (2010, background): “Many genes involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids have been cloned (Cunningham and Gantt 1998; Hirschberg 2001 ), and extensive information is available on the regulation of carotenoid formation during fruit ripening (Bramley 2002).”
• Reference Gene Selection for Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction of mRNA Transcript Levels in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) (2010, background): “The genes and enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoid pigments have been extensively reviewed (Bartley and Scolnik 1995; Cunningham and Gantt 1998; Hirschberg 2001), and the carotenoid pathway is highly conserved in plants and photosynthetic bacteria.”
• Genetic variability in yellow pigment components in cultivated and wild tetraploid wheats (2009, background): “002 complexes, involved in photo-oxidative protection, serve as precursors of the hormone abscisic acid and provide the yellow, orange and red colours in many flowers and fruits (Della Penna and Pogson, 2006; Hirschberg, 2001).”
• Carotenoid metabolism in plants. (2015, neutral): “In addition, phytochrome-mediated light signals are known to regulate carotenoid accumulation in Arabidopsis and tomato (von Lintig et al., 1997; Alba et al., 2000; Giovannoni, 2001; Hirschberg, 2001).”
