When compared to other organisms, plants are atypical with respect to isoprenoid
biosynthesis: they utilize two distinct and separately compartmentalized pathways to build …

Recent advances in the proteomic field have allowed high-throughput experiments to be
conducted on chloroplast samples. Many proteomic investigations have focused on either …

The localization of isoprenoid lipids in chloroplasts, the accumulation of particular
isoprenoids under high irradiance conditions, and channelling of photosynthetically fixed …

Drawing on the expertise of internationally known, interdisciplinary scientists and
researchers, Food Colorants: Chemical and Functional Properties provides an integrative …

Phytoene synthase (PSY) is the crucial plastidial enzyme in the carotenoid biosynthetic
pathway. However, its post-translational regulation remains elusive. Likewise, Clp protease …

Terpenoids emitted from snapdragon flowers include three monoterpenes derived from
geranyl diphosphate (GPP), myrcene,(E)‐β‐ocimene and linalool, and a sesquiterpene …

To form the building blocks of isoprenoids, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) isomerase activity,
which converts IPP to dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), appears to be necessary in …

In higher plants, both the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) and mevalonate (MVA)
pathways contribute to the biosynthesis of isoprenoids. However, despite a significant …

Microalgae are currently considered one of the most promising resources for biofuel
production, aquaculture feedstock and new pharmaceuticals. Among them, green algae of …

The methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis produces
chlorophyll side chains and compounds that function in resistance to abiotic stresses …
