The role of lutein in the acclimation of higher plant chloroplast membranes to suboptimal conditions.

Physiologia plantarum - 1 Sept 2008

Pérez-Bueno María L, Horton Peter

Abstract excerpt

Two mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana deficient in lutein have been investigated with respect to their responses to growth under a range of suboptimal conditions. The first mutant, lut1, was enriched in violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, zeaxanthin and zeinoxanthin compared with the wild-type (WT). In the second mutant, lut2, the lack of lutein was compensated for only by an increase in xanthophyll cycle (XC)...
