Biosynthesis of carotenoids

1993
The carotenoids that are found in the photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes of higher plants, algae and phototrophic bacteria, including cyanobacteria, are C40 tetraterpenes. They are biosynthesised by a specialised branch of the isoprenoid or terpenoid pathway which is also used for the biosynthesis of a wide variety of other important compounds ...

Carotenoid biosynthesis in flowering plants

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001
The general scheme of carotenoid biosynthesis has been known for more than three decades. However, molecular description of the pathway in plants began only in the 1990s after the genes for the carotenogenic enzymes were cloned. Recent data on the biochemistry of carotenogenesis and its regulation in vivo present the possibility of genetically ...

Physiological role of β-carotene monohydroxylase (CYP97H1) in carotenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis.

Plant Science, 2019
Some carotenoids are found in the Euglena gracilis, including β-carotene, diadinoxanthin, diatoxanthins, and neoxanthin as the major species; however, the molecular mechanism underlying carotenoid biosynthesis in E. gracilis is not well understood.

Banana MaSPL16 Modulates Carotenoid Biosynthesis during Fruit Ripening Through Activating the Transcription of Lycopene β-Cyclase Genes.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2019
Carotenoids are a kind of bioactive compounds that exhibit health-promoting properties for humans, but their regulation in bananas during fruit ripening remains largely unclear.

Carotenoid biosynthesis and manipulation

1993
The carotenoids are the most widespread group of pigments in nature, with an estimated yield of some 100 million tons annually. They are present in all photosynthetic organisms, and are responsible for most of the yellow to red colours of most fruits and flowers. The characteristic colours of many birds, insects and marine invertebrates are also due to

[244] Biosynthesis of carotenoids

1971
Publisher Summary The carotenoids represent one of the important groups of natural pigments, especially in the plant kingdom. Carotenoids are biosynthesized from mevalonic acid and isopentenyl pyrophosphate via geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, two molecules of which condense to give phytoene, the probable C 40 precursor of all other carotenoids.
