Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Interest in lycopene metabolism and regulation is growing rapidly because accumulative studies have suggested an important role for lycopene in human health promotion. However, little is known about the molecular processes regulating lycopene accumulation in fruits other than tomato so far. RESULTS: On a spontaneous sweet orange bud mutant with abnormal lycopene accumulation in fruits and its wild...
