Citrus β -carotene hydroxylase 2 (bch2) participates in xanthophyll synthesis by catalyzing the hydroxylation of -carotene and compensates for bch1 in citrus carotenoid metabolism

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Citrus and colleagues from the Agricultural University, Wuhan, China have published the Article: Citrus u03b2 -carotene hydroxylase 2 (BCH2) participates in xanthophyll synthesis by catalyzing the hydroxylation of -carotene and compensates for BCH1 in citrus carotenoid metabolism, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors systematically examined the RI O T RI P complementary functional assay results showed that citrus CsBCH1 hydroxylated u03b2carotene into u03b2-cryptoxanthin and a small amount of zeaxanthin (Fig 3B). This study provides the resources for functional complementation assay-based carotenoid metabolism research, especially the research on u03b2-cryptoxanthin. The citrus . . .
