The Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase Gene CCD7-B, at Large, Is Associated with Tillering in Common Wheat

Agriculture, 2022
Wheat, an important cereal crop, is responsible for the livelihoods of many people, and a component of national food security. Tillering, which determines plant architecture and spike number, is a critical agronomic trait of wheat.

Hydroquinone dioxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB: A novel member of the family of non-heme iron (II)-dependent dioxygenases [PDF]

, 2008
Hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase (HQDO), an enzyme involved in the catabolism of 4-hydroxyacetophenone in Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB, was purified to apparent homogeneity.

Molecular Characterization of Carotenoid Biosynthetic Genes and Carotenoid Accumulation in Lycium chinense

Molecules, 2014
Lycium chinense is a shrub that has health benefits and is used as a source of medicines in Asia. In this study, a full-length cDNA clone encoding β-ring carotene hydroxylase (LcCHXB) and partial-length cDNA clones encoding phytoene synthase (LcPSY ...

A cis-carotene derived apocarotenoid regulates etioplast and chloroplast development

eLife, 2020
Carotenoids are a core plastid component and yet their regulatory function during plastid biogenesis remains enigmatic. A unique carotenoid biosynthesis mutant, carotenoid chloroplast regulation 2 (ccr2), that has no prolamellar body (PLB) and normal ...

Elucidation of the 4-hydroxyacetophenone catabolic pathway in Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB [PDF]

, 2008
The catabolism of 4-hydroxyacetophenone in Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB is known to proceed through the intermediate formation of hydroquinone. Here we provide evidence that hydroquinone is further degraded through 4-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde and ...

Exploring the Diversity and Regulation of Apocarotenoid Metabolic Pathways in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
In plants, carotenoids are subjected to enzyme-catalyzed oxidative cleavage reactions as well as to non-enzymatic degradation processes, which produce various carbonyl products called apocarotenoids.

Ruthenium porphyrin-ß-cyclodextrin complexes as supramolecular enzyme models for regioselective cleavage of carotenoids [PDF]

, 2006
All naturally occurring vitamin A derives from enzymatic oxidative cleavage of β,β-carotene or other carotenoids with pro-vitamin A activity. Two metabolic pathways of β,β-carotene to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde) have been proposed: the central cleavage ...

Tomato carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases 1A and 1B: Relaxed double bond specificity leads to a plenitude of dialdehydes, mono-apocarotenoids and isoprenoid volatiles

FEBS Open Bio, 2014
The biosynthetic processes leading to many of the isoprenoid volatiles released by tomato fruits are still unknown, though previous reports suggested a clear correlation with the carotenoids contained within the fruit.
