Carotenoid deficiency triggers autophagy in the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Autophagy - 1 Mar 2012

Pérez-Pérez María Esther, Couso Inmaculada, Crespo José L

Abstract excerpt

All aerobic organisms have developed sophisticated mechanisms to prevent, detect and respond to cell damage caused by the unavoidable production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Plants and algae are able to synthesize specific pigments in the chloroplast called carotenoids to prevent photo-oxidative damage caused by highly reactive by-products of photosynthesis. In this study we used the unicellular green alga...
