Novel lycopene epsilon cyclase activities in maize revealed through perturbation of carotenoid biosynthesis.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Aug 2009

Bai Ling, Kim Eun-Ha, DellaPenna Dean, Brutnell Thomas P

Abstract excerpt

In maize, human selection for yellow endosperm has led to diversification of grain carotenoid content and composition. This variation has remained largely untapped in modern breeding programs that have focused nearly exclusively on yield gains. In this paper, we show that carotenoid accumulation patterns differ in maize embryo and endosperm tissues, and that this tissue-specific accumulation is largely mediated...
