Abstract excerpt
Abstract 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 accessions, they identify 12 genomic regions... Carrots are among the richest sources of provitamin A carotenes in the human diet, but genetic variation in the carotenoid pathway does not fully explain the high levels of...
