Carotenoid Biosynthesis and Plastid Development in Plants: The Role of Light
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Light is an important cue that stimulates both plastid development and biosynthesis of carotenoids in plants. During photomorphogenesis or de-etiolation, photoreceptors are activated and molecular factors for carotenoid and chlorophyll biosynthesis are ...

Phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns in microbial carotenoid biosynthesis are revealed by comparative genomics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Carotenoids are multifunctional, taxonomically widespread and biotechnologically important pigments. Their biosynthesis serves as a model system for understanding the evolution of secondary metabolism.

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

Regulation of carotenoid metabolism and ABA biosynthesis during blueberry fruit ripening.
Plant physiology and biochemistry : PPB, 2023 Carotenoids and their derivates play critical physiologic roles in plants. However, these substrates and their metabolism have not been elucidated in fruit of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum). In this study, carotenoids and ABA were investigated by LC-MS

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Cyclization of acyclic lycopene by cyclases marks an important regulatory point in carotenoid biosynthesis. Though some algal lycopene epsilon cyclases (LCYEs) have been predicted computationally, very few have been functionally identified.
