CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Mutagenesis of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 8 (CCD8) in Tobacco Affects Shoot and Root Architecture [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones that regulate plant architecture. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) genes are involved in the biosynthesis of SLs and are identified and characterized in many plants.

Novel carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase catalyzes the first dedicated step in saffron crocin biosynthesis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Crocus sativus stigmas are the source of the saffron spice and accumulate the apocarotenoids crocetin, crocins, picrocrocin, and safranal, responsible for its color, taste, and aroma.

Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase catalyzes carotenoid degradation and regulates carotenoid accumulation and petal coloration in Zinnia elegans [PDF]
Ornamental Plant ResearchCarotenoids are one of the important coloring substances in the ray florets of Zinnia elegans. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) directly affects carotenoid contents by cleaving the double bond of carotenoids, thereby affecting the flower color ...

The Sensory Significance of Apocarotenoids in Wine: Importance of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 1 (CCD1) in the Production of β-Ionone [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 Olfactory cues are key drivers of our multisensory experiences of food and drink. For example, our perception and enjoyment of the flavour and taste of a wine is primarily steered by its aroma.

Identification of Plastoglobules as a Site of Carotenoid Cleavage [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Carotenoids play an essential role in light harvesting and protection from excess light. During chloroplast senescence carotenoids are released from their binding proteins and are eventually metabolized.

Overexpression of Sweet Potato Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 4 (IbCCD4) Decreased Salt Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Salt stress has a serious impact on normal plant growth and yield. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) degrades carotenoids to produce apocarotenoids, which are involved in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
