Ectopic expression of ORANGE promotes carotenoid accumulation and fruit development in tomato
5 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Summary Carotenoids are critically important to plants and humans. The ORANGE (OR) gene is a key regulator for carotenoid accumulation, but its physiological roles in crops remain elusive. In this study, we generated transgenic tomato ectopically overexpressing the Arabidopsis wild‐type OR (AtORWT) and a ‘golden SNP’‐containing OR (AtORHis). We found that AtORHis initiated chromoplast formation in very young...
