Functional Validation of Phytoene Synthase and Lycopene ε-Cyclase Genes for High Lycopene Content in Autumn Olive Fruit (Elaeagnus umbellata)
16 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Lycopene is the most potent antioxidant among all carotenoids and is beneficial to human health. A ripe fruit of autumn olive ( Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.) accumulates a high level of lycopene, which is 5–20 times higher than that in an ordinary tomato fruit. During fruit ripening of autumn olive, only phytoene synthase ( EutPSY ) expression pattern shows a tight positive correlation with the increased lycopene...
