Light signals are fundamental for plant physiology, providing not only energy for photosynthesis, but also environmental cues for the maintenance of daily rhythms and developmental progression through the life cycle. Photoreceptors, such as phytochromes, perceive and transduced through a complex pathway aiming the induction of adaptive responses. Phytochrome-Interacting Transcription Fact…
Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is a constant catabolic process involved in pigment recycling in photosynthetically active cells and nutrient relocation in senescent leaves and ripening fruits. One product of Chl dephytylation is a lipophilic molecule named phytol, this molecule is part of the tocopherols, which are antioxidant compounds with Vitamin E (VTE) activity. It is proposed that th…
Tomato fruits are source of health-promoting antioxidant substances, such as ascorbic acid, carotenoids and tocopherols (Vitamin E, VTE). The accumulation of these plastid-derived compounds is affected by light, as this signal has a strong role in regulating chloroplast maintenance and activity. For example, silencing of DE-ETIOLATED 1 gene, a negative effector in light signal transductio…
