Plate 1. General scheme of carotenoid biosynthesis leading to the accumulation of different carotenoid derivatives
determining the colour of various fruit species. Only dominant pigments that have the greatest impact on fruit colour
are mentioned. GGPP, geranylgeranyl diphosphate; PHY, phytoene synthase; PDS, phytoene desaturase; ZDS,
ζ-carotene desaturase; CRTISO (or CIS), carotene isomerase; CYC-B, lycopene β-cyclase; CYC-E, lycopene
ε-cyclase; CHX-B, β-carotene hydroxylase; VDE, violaxanthin de-epoxidase; ZEP, zeaxanthin epoxidase; CCS,
capsanthin-capsorubin synthase.
