Deciphering the genomic structure, function and evolution of carotenogenesis related phytoene synthases in grasses [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2012
Abstract Background Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments, essential for photosynthesis and photoprotection in plants. The enzyme phytoene synthase (PSY) plays an essential role in mediating condensation of two geranylgeranyl diphosphate molecules, the first committed step in carotenogenesis.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Tomato CircRNAs Derived from Genes Involved in Fruit Pigment Accumulation

Scientific Reports, 2017
CircRNAs, a class of widespread circular RNAs produced from precursor mRNA back-splicing, have been implicated in regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes, but their biological functions in plants have not yet been elucidated.

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

Frontiers 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

, 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 ...
