• Vitamin synthesis in plants: tocopherols and carotenoids. (2006, background): “Despite the importance of vitamin A in mammalian physiology, it was not until 2000 that a β-carotene 15,15′-dioxygenase was cloned from Drosophila melanogaster (145) and chicken (148) based on similarity to plant CCDs.”
• Cleavage of β,β-carotene to flavor compounds by fungi (2003, background): “…fission of specific carotenoids in vivo have been isolated and characterized in recent years from plants, insects, birds and mammals (e.g. Kiefer et al. 2001; Quin and Zeevaart 1999; Schwartz et al. 1997, 2001; Thompson et al. 2000; von Lintig and Vogt 2000; Wyss et al. 2000; Yan et al. 2001).”
