Abstract excerpt
Banana fruits have attracted considerable attention for health-promoting effects attributed to ubiquitous functional metabolites. However, genotype-dependent accumulation patterns of carotenoids in banana remain largely unclear. Here, we performed a systematic metabolomic investigation of 18 banana cultivars of the AAA, AAB, or ABB genome groups. Our results indicate that the levels of soluble sugars increase...
