Lycopene 124-132 15-cis-phytoene desaturase, chloroplastic/chromoplastic Solanum lycopersicum 229-232 21377758-9 2011 The results indicated that the yellow phenotype observed in Pds-silenced fruit was mainly due to the lack of the red-colored lycopene and therefore to a more pronounced contribution of the yellow-orange carotenoids (lutein, violaxanthin, and zeaxanthin) to the final color of the fruits. Lycopene 125-133 15-cis-phytoene desaturase, chloroplastic/chromoplastic Solanum lycopersicum 60-63 10205893-12 1999 During fruit development, the mRNA levels for the lycopene-producing enzymes phytoene synthase (PSY) and phytoene desaturase (PDS) increase, while the mRNA levels of the genes for the lycopene beta- and epsilon-cyclases, which convert lycopene to either beta- or delta-carotene, respectively, decline and completely disappear.
