N2 - Carotenoid biosynthesis and sequestration in higher plants occurs in the plastid organelle. Among diverse germplasm collections displaying natural variation for carotenoids and outputs from metabolic engineering experiments it has become clear that plastid type and numbers can have important implications on the quantitative composition of carotenoids accumulating. Therefore, it is important to characterise these organelles to fully evaluate the potential of the germplasm to enhance carotenoids and create nutrient dense fruits and vegetables. In this article the procedures used to isolate sub-plastidial structures from carotenoid-rich Solanaceae fruits (tomato and Capsicum) are described.
