Metabolic engineering of ketocarotenoid biosynthesis in higher plants
(Elsevier, 2009)Ketocarotenoids such as astaxanthin and canthaxanthin have important applications in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, food and feed industries. Astaxanthin is derived from b-carotene by 3-hydroxylation and 4-ketolation at ... -
Targeted transcriptomic and metabolic profiling reveals temporal bottlenecks in the maize carotenoid pathway that may be addressed by multigene engineering
(Wiley, 2013)Carotenoids are a diverse group of tetraterpenoid pigments found in plants, fungi, bacteria and some animals. They play vital roles in plants and provide important health benefits to mammals, including humans. We ... -
The regulation of carotenoid pigmentation in flowers
(Elsevier, 2010)Carotenoids fulfill many processes that are essential for normal growth and development in plants, but they are also responsible for the breathtaking variety of red-to-yellow colors we see in flowers and fruits. Although ...
