Identification, cloning, and expression analysis of three phytoene synthase genes from Cucurbita pepo

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2015
An essential step in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway is the formation of phytoene by phytoene synthase (PSY). In this study, three new genes coding PSYs (CpPSYA, CpPSYB, and CpPSYC) were cloned from Cucurbita pepo and their expression patterns ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Metabolically engineered plant cell cultures as biofactories for the production of high-value carotenoids astaxanthin and canthaxanthin

open access: yesScientific Reports
Astaxanthin and canthaxanthin are high-value carotenoids with growing demand due to their antioxidant properties and applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. However, natural sources are limited and current production methods are often

Phytoene synthases 1 modulates tomato fruit quality through influencing the metabolic flux between carotenoid and flavonoid pathways

open access: yesHorticultural Plant Journal
The deterioration in fruit quality of commercial tomatoes is a major concern of modern tomato breeding. However, the metabolism and genetics of fruit quality are poorly understood. Here, we performed transgenic and molecular biology experiments to reveal
