Deciphering the genomic structure, function and evolution of carotenogenesis related phytoene synthases in grasses
BACKGROUND: Carotenoids are isoprenoid pigments, essential for photosynthesis and photoprotection in plants. The enzyme phytoene synthase (PSY) plays an essential role in mediating condensation of two geranylgeranyl diphosphate molecules, the first committed step in carotenogenesis. PSY are nuclear...
