Figure 6

VvCCD-mediated cleavage of members of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway.The cleavage of tested members of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway is shown together with the volatile apocarotenoids produced. The 5,6 (5’,6’) and 9,10 (9’,10’) double bond cleavage sites are indicated with a diagonal line (/) through the carotenoid backbone. The circled (light grey circle) double bonds represent an increase in desaturation of the carbon bonds that is required for substrate acceptance.
