Functional analysis of the early steps of carotenoid biosynthesis in tobacco.

Plant physiology - 1 Feb 2002

Busch Marco, Seuter Anja, Hain Rüdiger

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids contribute to energy transduction in the light harvesting complexes and serve in protection from excess light fluence. Because of the importance of carotenoids, the genes encoding enzymes of carotenoid biosynthesis in higher plants are potential targets for herbicides. To obtain further insight into tobacco carotenoid biosynthesis and to investigate and prioritize potential herbicide targets in the...
