Maize Y9 encodes a product essential for 15-cis-zeta-carotene isomerization.

Plant physiology - 1 Jun 2007

Li Faqiang, Murillo Christina, Wurtzel Eleanore T

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids are a diverse group of pigments found in plants, fungi, and bacteria. They serve essential functions in plants and provide health benefits for humans and animals. In plants, it was thought that conversion of the C40 carotenoid backbone, 15-cis-phytoene, to all-trans-lycopene, the geom...
