Interference with clp protease impairs carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Carotenoid and colleagues from the Editor:, CONICET-National University of La Plata, Argentina have published the article: Interference with Clp protease impairs carotenoid accumulation during tomato fruit ripening, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: For consistency, the authors focused on the cells of the exocarp (i.e. the most external layer of the pericarp) in the boundary with the mesocarp. The authors propose that Clp protease-regulated expression of chaperone-encoding genes might be a compensatory mechanism triggered when Clp protease activity becomes compromised. The authors show that the tomato Clp protease influences carotenoid biosynthesis . . .
