Wilt-induced ABA biosynthesis, gene expression and down-regulation of rbcS mRNA levels in Arabidopsis thaliana

Light-dependent regulation of carotenoid

Light-dependent regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis occurs at the level of phytoene synthase expression and is mediated by phytochrome in Sinapis alba and Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings

In chloroplasts, carotenoids are essential pigments involved in photosynthesis. During photomorphogenesis, a coordinated increase in the amounts of chlorophylls and carotenoids, in conjugation with other components, leads to the formation of a functional photosynthetic apparatus. To investigate the
