Effect of salt stress on expression of carotenoid pathway genes in tomato [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2011
Carotenoids, the naturally occurring isoprenoids form essential components of photosynthetic antenna and reaction centre complexes. Thus they play a significant role in absorption, dissipation and transfer of light energy for the process of ...

Genetic basis of microbial carotenogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
The synthesis of carotenoids begins with the formation of a phytoene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a well conserved step in all carotenogenic organisms and catalyzed by a phytoene synthase, an enzyme encoded by the crtB(spy) genes.
