They are biosynthesised by a specialised branch of the isoprenoid or terpenoid pathway which is also used for the biosynthesis of a wide variety of other important compounds. All isoprenoid compounds are built up from the C. “isoprene unit” the carbon skeleton of which is

Furthermore, the acclimation of photosynthetic organs to high light involves a strong increase in the total sum of these three xanthophylls. Both the in

Thus, in many cases, the only objective is a routine screening of the leaf or other carotenoid-containing material to monitor possible and often subtle quantitative changes in pigment content and composition. In other cases, identification of all carotenoids found in a range
