a-Tocopherol is formed from homogentisate and phytylpyrophosphate in chloroplasts. Homogentisate originates from tyrosine formed by the plastidic shikimate pathway. Phytylpyrophosphate is formed by the mevalonate pathway and plutidic polyprenyl pyrophosphate synthesis. As a new result, the capacity

## Abstract Carotenoid biosynthesis is highly conserved and well characterized up to the synthesis of β‐carotene. Conversely, the synthesis of astaxanthin from β‐carotene is less well characterized. Regardless, astaxanthin is a highly sought natural product, due to its various industrial applicatio
