Title: Lycopene and its biosynthesis research by molecular biology
Abstract: This article mainly introduced the physiochemical properties of lycopene, lycopene biosynthesis path- way and its regulation in higher plants. Lycopene have some functions healthful to human, such as anti- cancer, protecting skin, postponing senescence, so it is a healthy food component. With the elucidation of lycopene biosynthesis pathway and the study on regulation of lycopene biosynthesis, it has become possible to regulate its biosynthesis via genetic engineering.
