Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of carotenoid cleavage oxygenase genes in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) include the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) and 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid (NCED), which can catalize carotenoid to form various apocarotenoids and their derivatives, has been found that play important ...

Structural basis for carotenoid cleavage by an archaeal carotenoid dioxygenase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Apocarotenoids are important signaling molecules generated from carotenoids through the action of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs). These enzymes have a remarkable ability to cleave carotenoids at specific alkene bonds while leaving chemically ...

On the substrate- and stereospecificity of the plant carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Strigolactones are phytohormones synthesized from carotenoids via a stereospecific pathway involving the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases 7 (CCD7) and 8. CCD7 cleaves 9-cis-β-carotene to form a supposedly 9-cis-configured β-apo-10′-carotenal.

Integrative Analysis of Metabolome and Transcriptome Revealed Lutein Metabolism Contributed to Yellow Flower Formation in Prunus mume

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Prunus mume is a famous ornamental woody tree with colorful flowers. P. mume with yellow flowers is one of the most precious varieties. Regretfully, metabolites and regulatory mechanisms of yellow flowers in P. mume are still unclear.

Characteristics of NtCCD1-3 from tobacco, and protein engineering of the CCD1 to enhance β-ionone production in yeast

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biosynthesis of β-ionone by microbial cell factories has become a promising way to obtain natural β-ionone. The catalytic activity of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 (CCD1) in cleavage of β-carotene to β-ionone severely limits its biosynthesis. In this

Cloning and Characterization of a Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase from Artemisia Annua L

open access: yes, 2011
In order to discover the formation mechanism of carotenoid derived aroma, which has been wildly used on protection of crop against insect attacks, the full-length cDNA of an Artemisia annua carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (AaCCD1) was cloned by rapid ...

Genes involved in the synthesis and signaling pathway of strigolactone, a shoot branching inhibitor

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2012
Branching is an important step in higher plant development, which not only determines the configuration of the plant directly, but also affects its adaptability to the environment. The interactions between hormones, genes, environmental and other factors

β-Ionone: Its Occurrence and Biological Function and Metabolic Engineering

open access: yesPlants, 2021
β-Ionone is a natural plant volatile compound, and it is the 9,10 and 9′,10′ cleavage product of β-carotene by the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. β-Ionone is widely distributed in flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Study of 'Redhaven' peach and its white-fleshed mutant suggests a key role of CCD4 carotenoid dioxygenase in carotenoid and norisoprenoid volatile metabolism

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2011
Background Carotenoids are plant metabolites which are not only essential in photosynthesis but also important quality factors in determining the pigmentation and aroma of flowers and fruits.

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal
