Exploring the Diversity and Regulation of Apocarotenoid Metabolic Pathways in Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 In plants, carotenoids are subjected to enzyme-catalyzed oxidative cleavage reactions as well as to non-enzymatic degradation processes, which produce various carbonyl products called apocarotenoids.

Plant apocarotenoids: from retrograde signaling to interspecific communication
The Plant Journal, 2020 Summary Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds synthesized by all photosynthetic and some non‐photosynthetic organisms. They are essential for photosynthesis and contribute to many other aspects of a plant's life.
