Carotenoid crystal formation in Arabidopsis and carrot roots caused by increased phytoene synthase protein levels.
<h4>Background</h4>As the first pathway-specific enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis, phytoene synthase (PSY) is a prime regulatory target. This includes a number of biotechnological approaches that have successfully increased the carotenoid content in agronomically relevant non-green plan...
