In natural products the most common carotenoid is the yellow-orange pigment of the carrot (Daucus carota), the ß,ß-carotene. It was isolated in crystalline form as early as in 1831 by Wackenroder. Later, it gave the name to the entire class of these compounds.
Dark-grown carrot (Daucus carota L.) tissue cultures were found to contain both protein components of the NADP/thioredoxin system--NADP-thioredoxin reductase and the thioredoxin characteristic of heterotrophic systems, thioredoxin h.
