Plant Methods, 2022 Background Some plastid-derived metabolites can control nuclear gene expression, chloroplast biogenesis, and chlorophyll biosynthesis. For example, norflurazon (NFZ) induced inhibition of carotenoid biosynthesis in leaves elicits a protoporphyrin IX (Mg ...

Carotenoids and Their Biosynthesis in Fungi [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 Carotenoids represent a class of pigmented terpenoids. They are distributed in all taxonomic groups of fungi. Most of the fungal carotenoids differ in their chemical structures to those from other organisms. The general function of carotenoids in heterotrophic organisms is protection as antioxidants against reactive oxygen species generated by ...

Unraveling transcriptomics of sorghum grain carotenoids: a step forward for biofortification
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is a promising target for pro-vitamin A biofortification as it is a global staple crop, particularly in regions where vitamin A deficiency is prevalent.

Effects of nutriental and environmental conditions on carotenoid biosynthesis by Rhodotorula sp.
Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science - Engineering and Technology, 2018 Carotenoid compounds are popular natural antioxidants which are commonly isolated from the plants. Recently, there have been many researches on carotenoid biosynthesis towards low cost products. In this study, Rhodotorula sp. was grown on an agricultural

Mechanistic Aspects of Carotenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]
Chemical Reviews, 2013 Carotenoids represent a large class of terpenoids characterized by an extensively conjugated polyene chain. The conjugation system imparts carotenoids with excellent light absorbing properties in the blue-green (450–550 nm) range of the visible spectrum.
