Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Daucus carota [PDF]

, 2016
Carrot (Daucus carota) is one of the most important vegetable cultivated worldwide and the main source of dietary provitamin A. Contrary to other plants, almost all carrot varieties accumulate massive amounts of carotenoids in the root, resulting in a wide variety of colors, including those with purple, yellow, white, red and orange roots.

Co-chaperoning of Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Biosynthesis by ORANGE Family Proteins in Plants.

Molecular Plant, 2023
Chlorophylls and carotenoids are essential photosynthetic pigments. Plants spatiotemporally coordinate the needs of chlorophylls and carotenoids for optimal photosynthesis and fitness in response to diverse environmental and developmental cues.

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 ...

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.
