Abstract excerpt
Advances in analytical methodologies, including those coupled with mass spectrometry (gas chromatography and liquid chromatography; GC-MS and LC-MS) have facilitated profiling of carotenoids in complex plant extracts. The combination of metabolomic data together with diverse germplasm resources provides a means to discover the underlying genetic factors responsible for modulating the carotenoid biosynthetic...
