摘要
番茄红素是一种重要的天然色素,它主要来源于植物果实和微生物中。随着番茄红素代谢途径的阐明和生物合成相关基因的克隆,使得运用基因工程技术提高番茄红素产量成为可能。本文对番茄红素生物合成相关基因的最新研究进展及其在微生物和植物基因工程中的应用情况进行了综述,并探讨了今后进一步提高番茄红素产量的研究方向。
Lycopene is one of the important natural pigments,which is mainly derived from plant fruits and microorganisms.The metabolic pathway of lycopene has been clarified and many related genes have been cloned.Therefore it is possible to improve the lycopene yield by genetic engineering technology.In this paper,the latest research progress related to genes in lycopene biosynthesis,their application in microorganism gene engineering and plant gene engineering were reviewed.The paper also discussed the research orientation for further improving lycopene production in the future.
