Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS7A02G557300
• Gene Symbol: Psy1
• Gene Name: Phytoene synthase 1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The accumulation of Psy1 transcript was associated with carotenoid content in maize endosperm, thus demonstrating the significance of the gene in the grain carotenoid biosynthetic pathway.
• In this study, the full-length genomic DNA sequence of a Psy gene (Psy-A1) located on chromosome 7A, was characterized by in silico cloning and experimental validation.
• Characterization of phytoene synthase 1 gene (Psy1) located on common wheat chromosome 7A and development of a functional marker.
• As a consequence this influences the expression of Psy-A1b leading to reduced grain YP content.
