TL;DR: This work hypothesized that the daffodil gene encoding phytoene synthase (psy), one of the two genes used to develop Golden Rice, was the limiting step in β-carotene accumulation, and identified a psy from maize that substantially increased carotenoid accumulation in a model plant system.

Enhanced accumulation of carotenoids in plants
TL;DR: In this paper, a polynucleotide comprising a region which comprises as operably linked components (i) a promoter which provides for seed preferred expression, and (ii) a nucleotide sequence derived from a bacterium which sequence encodes a carotene desaturase; and (iii) a transcription termination region.
