The biosynthesis and nutritional uses of carotenoids.
Paul D. Fraser,Peter M. Bramley +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review the current understanding of carotenoid formation, to explain the perceived benefits ofcarotenoids in the diet and review the efforts that have been made to increase carotanoids in certain crop plants.

Jacqueline Ann Mary Paine,Shipton Catherine Ann,Sunandha Chaggar,Rhian M. Howells,Mike J Kennedy,Gareth Vernon,Susan Y Wright,Edward Hinchliffe,Jessica L Adams,Aron Louis Silverstone,Rachel Drake +10 more
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.
