Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: LeCCD1B
  • Gene Name: carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1B
  • Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
  • Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

  • The tomato carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 genes contribute to the formation of the flavor volatiles β-ionone, pseudoionone, and geranylacetone.
  • The tomato genome contains two closely related genes potentially encoding carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases, LeCCD1A and LeCCD1B.
  • This over-expression of the antisense transcript led to 87–93% reductions in mRNA levels of both LeCCD1A and LeCCD1B in the leaves and fruits of selected lines.
  • Demonstrated that LeCCD1A and LeCCD1B cleave multiple linear and cyclic carotenoids resulting in the formation of a C14 dialdehyde and a variety of C13 products, depending on the substrate.
