The dual role of phytoene synthase genes in carotenogenesis in carrot roots and leaves [PDF]
Molecular Breeding, 2014 Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an important food crop and is useful for studying carotenogenesis due to the quantity and diversity of carotenoids in its roots. Phytoene synthase catalyzes the first committed step in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, and its overexpression is the main driving force in the orange phenotype.

Isolation and functional characterisation of banana phytoene synthase genes as potential cisgenes [PDF]
Planta, 2012 Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms where they protect photosystems from auto-oxidation, participate in photosynthetic energy transfer and are secondary metabolites. Of the more than 600 known plant carotenoids, few can be converted into vitamin A by humans and so these pro-vitamin A carotenoids (pVAC) are important in human nutrition ...

Plant Physiology, 2023 Abstract Carotenoids are plastidial isoprenoids required for photoprotection and phytohormone production in all plants. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), carotenoids also provide color to flowers and ripe fruit. Phytoene synthase (PSY) catalyzes the first and main flux-controlling step of the carotenoid pathway.

Duplication of the Phytoene Synthase Gene in the Carotenoid Biosynthetic Pathway of Watermelon [PDF]
HortScience, 2006 Gene identification and characterization can be utilized for the identification of respective functions and their relationship to flesh color inheritance. Phytoene synthase (PSY), which converts two molecules of GGPP into phytoene, is the first committed step of the pathway.

Combining systems and synthetic biology for in vivo enzymology
The EMBO JournalEnzymatic parameters are classically determined in vitro, under conditions that are far from those encountered in cells, casting doubt on their physiological relevance. We developed a generic approach combining tools from synthetic and systems biology to
