Update on Plastid Proteostatis in Transplastomic Plants Plastid Proteostasis and Heterologous Protein Accumulation in Transplastomic Plants

The insertion of transgenes into the plastid genome (plastome) has proved to be an effective alternative to nuclear transformation for producing stable transformants expressing heterologous proteins. Recently, methodology, characteristics, and possible fields of application of plastome transformation have been extensively reviewed (Lössl and Waheed, 2011; Scotti et al., 2012). From these report...

Carotenoid biosynthesis in flowering plants.

The general scheme of carotenoid biosynthesis has been known for more than three decades. However, molecular description of the pathway in plants began only in the 1990s after the genes for the carotenogenic enzymes were cloned. Recent data on the biochemistry of carotenogenesis and its regulation in vivo present the possibility of genetically manipulating this pathway in crop plants.

Carotenoid synthesis and function in plants: Insights from mutant studies in Arabidopsis*

From a molecular and genetic perspective, the decade of the 1990s was truly unparalleled in the study of carotenoids. A combination of new technologies and approaches allowed the isolation of bacterial carotenoid biosynthetic genes and the subsequent isolation of higher plant homologs based on colour complementation in Escherichia coli. These genes provided a basis for molecular and transgenic ...
