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.

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 |
