Characterization of Transcriptional Expression and Regulation of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 4b in Grapes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Norisoprenoids are important aromatic volatiles contributing to the pleasant floral/fruity odor in grapes and wine. They are produced from carotenoids through the cleavage of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs).

Multiple loss-of-function mutations of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 reveal its major role in both carotenoid level and apocarotenoid composition in flue-cured mature tobacco leaves [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Apocarotenoid volatiles contribute to the flavor of many agricultural products. In many flowering plants, carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 (CCD4) is involved in the decomposition of carotenoids and resultant production of C13-apocarotenoids, such as β ...

Identification of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase genes and functional analysis reveal DoCCD1 is potentially involved in beta-ionone formation in Dendrobium officinale [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The carotenoids are the most widely distributed secondary metabolites in plants and can be degraded by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) to form apocarotenoids including an important C13 compound beta-ionone.

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high-value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites
