2.2 Rekayasa Genetika pada Golden Rice
Peneliti Eropa melaporkan bahwa di dalam Golden Rice terdapatprekusor
untuk bioseintesis karotenoid, termasuk beta-karoten, yaitu geranyl-geranyl
diphosphate (GGDP). Secara alami biji padi tidak menghasilkan phytoene karena
terjadi penghambatan fungsi dari enzim phytoene synthase (Phy). Namun
demikian, penghambatan fungsi enzim tersebut dapat dihilangkan dengan cara
mengintroduksi gen Phy dari tanaman daffodil dengan menggunakan promoter
spesifik untuk endosperma. Selain Phy dan Crtl, tanaman daffodil juga memiliki
satu enzim yang diperlukan untuk mengubah lycopene menjadi beta-karoten yaitu
lycopene cyclase (Lyc). Secara ringkas, rekayasa jalur biosintesa beta-
karotenpada Golden Rice sebagai berikut:
