Several geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase isoforms supply metabolic substrates for carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato

open access: yesbioRxiv, 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,
