Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Cs3g11690
• Gene Symbol: CsELT1
• Gene Name: Esterase/lipase/thioesterase 1
• Genome: sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) reference genome
• Species: Citrus sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

• CsELT1 promotes the accumulation of β-chain carotenoids in plastid globules by forming a fat-soluble environment rich in triacylglycerol (TGA).
• Manipulation of the CPG-localized gene CsELT1 (esterase/lipase/thioesterase) in citrus calli resulted in increased lipids and carotenoids, which is further evidence that the nonpolar microenvironment of CPGs contributes to carotenoid accumulation and storage in the chromoplasts.
• These results imply that the functions of CsELT1 and CsELT5 are associated with carotenoid metabolism in CPGs.
