Kids' Environment and Health Cohort: Database Protocol: supplementary appendix.

Introduction: Environmental exposures are known to affect the health and well-being of populations throughout the life course. Children are particularly susceptible to environmental impacts on educational and health outcomes as they spend more time in their local environments compared to adults. In England, no national, longitudinal dataset linking information about the physical and social environment in and around homes and schools to children's health and education outcomes currently exists.

The esterification of xanthophylls in Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) chromoplasts; the role of a non-specific acyltransferase.

The esterification of carotenoids has been associated with high-level accumulation, greater stability and potentially improved dietary bioavailability. Engineering the formation of ketocarotenoids into tomato fruit has resulted in the esterification of these non-endogenous metabolites. A genotype of tomato was created that contains; (i) the mutant pale yellow petal (pyp)1-1 allele, which is responsible for the absence of carotenoid esters in tomato flowers and (ii) the heterologous enzymes for ketocarotenoid formation.
