Strigolactone Levels in Dicot Roots Are Determined by an Ancestral Symbiosis-Regulated Clade of the PHYTOENE SYNTHASE Gene Family

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Strigolactones (SLs) are apocarotenoid phytohormones synthesized from carotenoid precursors. They are produced most abundantly in roots for exudation into the rhizosphere to cope with mineral nutrient starvation through support of root symbionts ...

Unraveling new roles of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases and phytoene synthases in tomato

open access: yes, 2022
[ES] Los carotenoides son compuestos isoprenoides esenciales para la fotosíntesis, la fotoprotección, y como precursores de reguladores del crecimiento como el ácido abscísico (ABA) y las estrigolactonas (SL). En algunas plantas, como el tomate (Solanum lycopersicum), los carotenoides también funcionan como pigmentos que dan color a las flores y a los ...

Identification, cloning, and expression analysis of three phytoene synthase genes from Cucurbita pepo

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2015
An essential step in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway is the formation of phytoene by phytoene synthase (PSY). In this study, three new genes coding PSYs (CpPSYA, CpPSYB, and CpPSYC) were cloned from Cucurbita pepo and their expression patterns ...
