<i>Arabidopsis</i> OR proteins are the major posttranscriptional regulators of phytoene synthase in controlling carotenoid biosynthesis
9 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Carotenoids are indispensable natural pigments to plants and humans. Phytoene synthase (PSY), the rate-limiting enzyme in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, and ORANGE (OR), a regulator of chromoplast differentiation and enhancer of carotenoid biosynthesis, represent two key proteins that control carotenoid biosynthesis and accumulation in plants. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying their...
