Application

Application	Comment	Organism
nutrition	bioengineering of astaxanthin biosynthesis in rice endosperm. Astaxanthin, a red-colored ketocarotenoid, has strong antioxidant activity and thus can benefit human health. However, astaxanthin is not produced in most higher plants. Introduction of a minimal set of four transgenes (sZmPSY1, sPaCrtI, sCrBKT, and sHpBHY, which encode the enzymes phytoene synthase, phytoene desaturase, beta-carotene ketolase, and beta-carotene hydroxylase, respectively) driven by rice endosperm-specific promoters establishes the carotenoid/ketocarotenoid/astaxanthin biosynthetic pathways in the endosperm of rice	Zea mays
