Carotenoids are a group of widely distributed natural pigments. They give many horticultural
plants the bright red, orange, and yellow colors, as well as the aroma and flavor …

Nutritional deficiency is becoming a universal problem, resulting in poor health, low worker
productivity, high rates of mortality and morbidity. Large-scale dietary improvements are …

Here an improved carrot reference genome and resequencing of 630 carrot accessions
were used to investigate carrot domestication and improvement. The study demonstrated …

Carotenoids are important natural pigments that give bright colors to plants. The difference
in the accumulation of carotenoids is one of the key factors in the formation of various colors …

Purple or black carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef) are characterized
by their dark purple-to black-colored roots, owing their appearance to high anthocyanin …

Ellison et al. provide the first evidence that the genomic region bearing the Or gene is
involved in the presence of carotenoids in carrot. Using a global collection of diverse carrot …

Knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the carotenoid metabolic pathway is still
emerging and here, we have misexpressed a key biosynthetic gene in apple to highlight …

Micronutrient deficiencies include shortages of vitamins and minerals. They affect billions of
people and are associated with long-range effects on health, learning ability, and huge …

Carotenoids compose a large group of natural terpenoid pigments and are widely
distributed in algae. Carotenoids play key roles in many biological processes in Ulva …

Little is known about the factors regulating carotenoid biosynthesis in roots. In this study, we
characterized DCAR_032551, the candidate gene of the Y locus responsible for the …
