Plastid localization of the key carotenoid enzyme phytoene synthase is altered by isozyme, allelic variation, and activity.

The Plant cell - 1 Sept 2012

Shumskaya Maria, Bradbury Louis M T, Monaco Regina R, Wurtzel Eleanore T

Abstract excerpt

Plant carotenoids have unique physiological roles related to specific plastid suborganellar locations. Carotenoid metabolic engineering could enhance plant adaptation to climate change and improve food security and nutritional value. However, lack of fundamental knowledge on carotenoid pathway localization limits targeted engineering. Phytoene synthase (PSY), a major rate-controlling carotenoid enzyme, is...
