Example sentencesExamples
- Obviously, in their case, zeaxanthin cannot be an important factor in energy dissipation.
- The blue light response of guard cells is mediated by the chloroplastic carotenoid, zeaxanthin.
- The first major breakthrough in understanding the molecular genetics of ABA biosynthesis involved the cloning of zeaxanthin epoxidase.
- The recombinant protein was assayed for cleavage activity towards zeaxanthin.
- During this interaction, energy is dissipated via a charge exchange mechanism in which the zeaxanthin gives up an electron to the chlorophyll.

Origin

1920s: via German from modern Latin zea 'maize' + xanthin, a yellow colouring in some plants.
