Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Carotenoids play important roles in photosynthesis, hormone signaling, and secondary metabolism. Phytoene synthase (PSY) catalyzes the first step of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we aimed to characterize the PSY genes in tobacco and analyze their function. RESULTS: In this study, we identified three groups of PSY genes, namely PSY1, PSY2, and PSY3, in four Nicotiana species;...
