Literature summary extracted from

  • Grünewald, K.; Eckert, M.; Hirschberg, J.; Hagen, C.
    Phytoene desaturase is localized exclusively in the chloroplast and up-regulated at the mRNA level during accumulation of secondary carotenoids in Haematococcus pluvialis (Volvocales, chlorophyceae) (2000), Plant Physiol., 122, 1261-1268.

Expression

EC Number Organism Comment Expression
1.3.5.5 Haematococcus lacustris regulation of phytoene desaturase occurs primarily at the mRNA level, most likely by transcriptional control. The enzyme is induced in response to stress conditions leading to biosynthesis of secondary carotenoids up
