The authors show that Arabidopsis CCD1 and CCD7 are distinct in function, tissue expression and subcellular location, although both cleave carotenoid substrates at the 9,10 position. Although ccd1 mutants are normal in appearance, they have significantly higher levels of mature seed carotenoids, indicating a role for CCD1 in carotenoid turnover in seeds.

The tomato carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 genes contribute to the formation of the flavor volatiles beta-ionone, pseudoionone, and geranylacetone. Plant J 40 (2004) 882-892. The authors identify two tomato CCD1 orthologs. Transgenic antisense lines in which the expression of the genes that encode these CCDs is reduced provide evidence that these enzymes are at least partially responsible for generating the important flavor volatiles geranyl acetone and β-ionone in tomato fruits.

Curr Biol 14 (2004) 1232-1238. The authors demonstrate that ccd7/max3 mutants of Arabidopsis have increased lateral shoot growth, which can be rescued by grafting to wildtype tissue. They further show that CCD7 is targeted to plastids and cleaves lycopene and β-carotene at the 9,10 position in a heterologous system.

Plant Cell 17 (2005) 746-759. The work described in this paper shows that the petunia DAD1 gene is orthologous to CCD8/MAX4. Loss-of-function dad1/ccd8/max4 mutants have greatly increased branching, delayed leaf senescence, and shorter stature. DAD1 transcription is feedback regulated: the gene is more highly expressed in dad1-1, dad2 and dad3 stem tissues.

Planta 222 (2005) 604-612. The authors localize a rice high-tillering mutant, htd1, to a region containing the OsCCD7 gene. That gene has a point mutation, strongly suggesting that tillering in monocots is controlled by the same mechanism that regulates eudicot branching.
