Maize phytoene desaturase and zeta-carotene desaturase catalyse a poly-Z desaturation pathway : implications for genetic engineering of carotenoid content among cereal crops
Carotene desaturation, an essential step in the biosynthesis of coloured carotenoids, has received much attention (1) as a target of bleaching herbicide action, (2) as a determinant of geometric isomer states of carotenoids and their metabolites, and (3) as a key modulator of accumulation and struct...
