Expression of a bacterial carotene hydroxylase gene (crtZ) enhances UV tolerance in tobacco.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Sept 2002

Götz Thomas, Sandmann Gerhard, Römer Susanne

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids are essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus involved in plant photoprotection. To investigate the protective role of zeaxanthin under high light and UV stress we have increased the capacity for its biosynthesis in tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun) by transformation with a heterologous carotenoid gene encoding beta-carotene hydroxylase (crtZ) from Erwinia uredovora under...
