Modulation of carotenoid biosynthesis during tomato fruit ripening through phytochrome regulation of phytoene synthase activity

The accumulation of carotenoids greatly influences the quality of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit because these compounds contribute to their color and functional food value. The regulatory properties and gene expression of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme involved in carotenoid biosyn...
