The transcriptional regulatory module CsHB5-CsbZIP44 positively regulates abscisic acid-mediated carotenoid biosynthesis in citrus (Citrus spp.). [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2023 Summary Carotenoids contribute to fruit coloration and are valuable sources of provitamin A in the human diet. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an essential role in fruit coloration during citrus fruit ripening, but little is known about the underlying ...

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.

Precursor uptake assays and metabolic analyses in isolated tomato fruit chromoplasts [PDF]
, 2012 Background Carotenoids are the most widespread group of pigments found in nature. In addition to their role in the physiology of the plant, carotenoids also have nutritional relevance as their incorporation in the human diet provides health benefits.

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.

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.

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

bioRxiv, 2020 Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) produced by GGPP synthase (GGPPS) serves as a precursor for many plastidial isoprenoids, including carotenoids. Here we show that five different GGPPS isoforms exist in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). From these, SlGGPPS1,
