Directed evolution of Arabidopsis thaliana carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1
Arabidopsis thaliana Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 1 (AtCCD1) is the role model for CCDs, a class of enzymes that cleave highly specific C=C double bonds in carotenoids and apo-carotenoids. CCD1s cleave carotenoids symmetrically and regio-selective at the 9-10 and 9’-10’ position. The active site …

Genetic dissection of carotenoid concentration and compositional traits in maize grain
Carotenoid compounds are derivatives of a well described secondary metabolic pathway in plants, participating in a diverse array of physiological functions, and are nutritionally valued vitamin precursors in the human diet. With the goal of enhancing the quantity (concentration) and quality …
