Abstract excerpt
Carrots (Daucus carota L.) are a rich source of provitamin A, namely, α- and β-carotene. Breeding programs prioritize increasing β-carotene content for improved color and nutrition. Understanding the genetic basis of carotenoid accumulation is crucial for implementing genomic-assisted selection to develop high-carotenoid lines. While previous studies identified loci (Y2, Y, Or, and REC) associated with carrot...
