Characterization and molecular cloning of a flavoprotein catalyzing the synthesis of phytofluene and ζ‐carotene in Capsicum chromoplasts [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992
In plants, ζ‐carotene is the first visible carotenoid formed in the biosynthetic pathway through the following two‐step desaturation reaction: phytoene→phytofluene→ζ‐carotene. Using Capsicum annuum chromoplast membranes and the reconstitution system previously described [Camara, B., Bardat, F. & Monéger, R. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 127, 255–258], we

Establishment of an Arabidopsis callus system to study the interrelations of biosynthesis, degradation and accumulation of carotenoids. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The net amounts of carotenoids accumulating in plant tissues are determined by the rates of biosynthesis and degradation. While biosynthesis is rate-limited by the activity of PHYTOENE SYNTHASE (PSY), carotenoid losses are caused by catabolic enzymatic ...
