Carotenoid Metabolism in Plants - ScienceDirect
Jan 5, 2015 · Carotenoids are the second most abundant naturally occurring pigments on earth, with more than 750 members. Carotenoid pigments are mainly C 40 lipophilic isoprenoids and synthesized in all photosynthetic organisms (bacteria, algae, and plants), as well as in some non-photosynthetic bacteria and fungi. Carotenoids range from colorless to yellow, orange, and red, with variations reflected in ...

Jun 1, 2021 · Carotenoids are naturally occurring bright color pigments that fulfill the essential physiological functions in all photosynthetic organisms like algae (unicellular organisms), cyanobacteria (multi-cellular organisms), and plants [1].Carotenoids are responsible for the quenching of light and protect cells from damages caused by …
The genes and enzymes of the carotenoid metabolic pathway in
Jun 15, 2012 · Additional file 2 shows the distribution of the 37 (of the 42) genes identified and listed in Additional file 1 in the grapevine genome. Where possible the genes were positioned on the genome sequence assembly of the heterozygous ENTAV115 described in Velasco et al. [].Five of the genes could not be localised on the ENTAV115 genome sequence, but were localised in the PN40024 genome sequence.
