The maize <i>PLASTID TERMINAL OXIDASE</i> ( <i>PTOX</i> ) gene controls the carotenoid content of kernels

2023-03-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Carotenoids perform a broad range of important functions in humans; therefore, carotenoid biofortification of maize ( Zea mays L.), one of the most highly produced cereal crops worldwide, would have a global impact on human health. PLASTID TERMINAL OXIDASE ( PTOX ) genes play an important role in carotenoid metabolism; however, the possible function of PTOX in carotenoid biosynthesis in maize...
