Functional analysis of the Brassica napus L. phytoene synthase (PSY) gene family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phytoene synthase (PSY) has been shown to catalyze the first committed and rate-limiting step of carotenogenesis in several crop species, including Brassica napus L.

Functional analysis of the Phycomyces carRA gene encoding the enzymes phytoene synthase and lycopene cyclase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Phycomyces carRA gene encodes a protein with two domains. Domain R is characterized by red carR mutants that accumulate lycopene. Domain A is characterized by white carA mutants that do not accumulate significant amounts of carotenoids. The carRA-encoded

cDNA cloning and expression analyses of phytoene synthase 1, phytoene desaturase and ζ-carotene desaturase genes from Solanum lycopersicum KKU-T34003 [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2013 We report on the cloning of Psy1, Pds and Zds cDNAs encoding the enzymes responsible for lycopene biosynthesis,namely phytoene synthase 1 (PSY1), phytoene desaturase (PDS) and -carotene desaturase (ZDS), respectively, from high-lycopene tomato cultivar,

Identification and Characterization Roles of Phytoene Synthase (PSY) Genes in Watermelon Development. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2022 Phytoene synthase (PSY) plays an essential role in carotenoid biosynthesis. In this study, three ClPSY genes were identified through the watermelon genome, and their full-length cDNA sequences were cloned.
