Regulation of phytoene desaturase expression is independent of leaf pigment content in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Aug 1998

Wetzel C M, Rodermel S R

Abstract excerpt

Synthesis of carotenoids in higher plants occurs in the plastids, but all of the required enzymes are coded for in the nuclear genome and are post-transcriptionally imported into the plastid compartment. Regulation of the synthesis of the enzymes is poorly understood. The two-step desaturation of phytoene to zeta-carotene, carried out by the enzyme phytoene desaturase (PDS), is one of the earliest steps in the...
