Recent Advances in Understanding Carotenoid Derived Signaling Molecules in Regulating Plant Growth and Development
Carotenoids (C40) are synthesized in plastids and perform numerous important functions in these organelles. In addition, carotenoids can be processed into smaller signaling molecules that regulate various phases of the plant’s life cycle. Besides the relatively well-studied phytohormones abscisic ac...
