Abstract
Carotenoids are photoprotective and colorful pigments necessary for the survival of all photosynthetic organisms. They are vital for the protection of photosynthetic complexes and membranes from reactive oxygen species. Carotenoids also cause the red, yellow, and orange coloration in flowers and vegetables to attract pollinators and vectors for distribution of seeds. The desaturation of carotenoids is essential to impart these photochemical properties to the molecule by increasing the length of the chromophore. This review discusses carotenoid desaturation from a molecular biological perspective. With the cloning of the carotenoid isomerase, most but not all the genes involved are now in the hands of researchers. This review will give the reader knowledge of the overall reaction and up-to-date information concerning new developments in carotenoid desaturation.
