Overlapping photoprotective function of vitamin E and carotenoids in Chlamydomonas.

Plant physiology - 1 Jan 2012

Li Zhirong, Keasling Jay D, Niyogi Krishna K

Abstract excerpt

Tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids are the two most abundant groups of lipid-soluble antioxidants in the chloroplast. Carotenoids are well known for their roles in protecting against photooxidative stress, whereas the photoprotective functions of tocopherols have only recently been examined experimentally. In addition, little is known about the functional overlap of carotenoids and tocopherols in vivo. To...
