Review: Changing form and function through carotenoids and synthetic biology (Plant Physiol)

/in /by

Plants produce hundreds of carotenoids with functions ranging from photoprotection to signalling, and with important roles in human health as well. Wurtzel describes opportunities arising from applying the tools of synthetic biology to carotenoids. The regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis is complex, and one key challenge is to identify switches to modulate the flow of intermediates […]
