Unraveling transcriptomics of sorghum grain carotenoids: a step forward for biofortification

open access: yesBMC 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.

Diversity and origin of carotenoid biosynthesis: its history of co-evolution towards plant photosynthesis.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
The development of photosynthesis is a highlight in the progression of bacteria. In addition to the photosystems with their structural proteins, the photosynthesis apparatus consists of different co-factors including essential carotenoids.

Accumulation of Carotenoids and Expression of Carotenoid Biosynthesis Genes in Fruit Flesh During Fruit Development in Two Cucurbita maxima Inbred Lines

open access: yesHorticultural Plant Journal, 2021
Mesocarp color is an important agronomic trait of Cucurbita maxima and is determined mainly by the contents and compositions of the carotenoids. The two inbred lines with significant differences in fruit flesh color were used in the study, the orange ...

Mechanistic Aspects of Carotenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesChemical 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.

Functional Characterization of a Missing Branch Component in Haematococcus pluvialis for Control of Algal Carotenoid Biosynthesis

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
