Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MtCCD1
  • Gene Name: carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

  • RNA Interference-Mediated Repression of MtCCD1 in Mycorrhizal Roots of Medicago truncatula Causes Accumulation of C27 Apocarotenoids, Shedding Light on the Functional Role of CCD1.
  • Literature data implicate C27 apocarotenoid cleavage as the general functional role of CCD1 in planta. A revised scheme of plant carotenoid cleavage in two consecutive steps is proposed, in which CCD1 catalyzes only the second step in the cytosol (C27 → C14 + C13), while the first step (C40 → C27 + C13) may be catalyzed by CCD7 and/or CCD4 inside plastids.
  • The unexpected outcome of the RNAi approach suggests C27 apocarotenoids as the major substrates of CCD1 in mycorrhizal root cells.
  • Knockdown of MtCCD1 Expression Leads to Strong Reduction of Mycorradicin Derivatives But to Only Moderate Reduction of Cyclohexenone Derivatives.
