Carotenoids, β-Apocarotenoids, and Retinoids: The Long and the Short of It
Nutrients, 2022 Naturally occurring retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl esters) are a subclass of β-apocarotenoids, defined by the length of the polyene side chain.

Terpenoid Transport in Plants: How Far from the Final Picture?
Plants, 2023 Contrary to the biosynthetic pathways of many terpenoids, which are well characterized and elucidated, their transport inside subcellular compartments and the secretion of reaction intermediates and final products at the short- (cell-to-cell), medium ...

Does zaxinone counteract strigolactones in shaping rice architecture?
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023 The cleavage of plant carotenoids leads to apocarotenoids, a group of metabolites including precursors of the hormones strigolactones (SLs) and abscisic acid, regulatory and signaling molecules.
