A C35 Carotenoid Biosynthetic Pathway [PDF]
Upon coexpression with Erwinia geranylgeranyldiphosphate (GGDP) synthase in Escherichia coli, C30 carotenoid synthase CrtM from Staphylococcus aureus produces novel carotenoids with the asymmetrical C35 backbone.

Carotenoids are pigments giving the yellow, orange and red colours to the fruits, vegetables, as well as products manufacturing from them. They belong to bio-active compound, being of special interest for the food scientists, nutritionists and food industry due to its positive effect on human health. They function as secondary antioxidants in the food,

Under cold stress, MdDSK2a‐like is degraded via the 26S proteasome pathway, thereby alleviating the degradation of MdMTA induced by the 26S proteasome and autophagy pathways mediated by MdDSK2a‐like. The accumulated MdMTA increases the m6A levels of cold‐responsive genes, thereby contributing to increased ROS detoxification, deposition of cell wall, as
