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.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

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.

Engineering Haloferax mediterranei as an Efficient Platform for High Level Production of Lycopene
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Lycopene attracts increasing interests in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its anti-oxidative and anti-cancer properties. Compared with other lycopene production methods, such as chemical synthesis or direct extraction from plants,

Genetic stability developed for β-carotene synthesis in BR29 rice line using dihaploid homozygosity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Obtaining transgenic crop lines with stable levels of carotenoids is highly desirable. We addressed this issue by employing the anther culture technique to develop dihaploid lines containing genes involved in β-carotene metabolism.

The yl Gene of Maize Codes for Phytoene Synthase [PDF]
Genetics, 1996 Abstract The cloned yl locus of maize was sequenced and found to encode phytoene synthase. Different “wild-type” alleles of the locus were found to differ by the insertion of transposable elements in their promoter and polyA addition regions, and by the length of a CCA tandem repeat series, without any obvious effect on function of the ...
