Abstract excerpt
Orange-fleshed (O) potato tubers are rich in nutritionally beneficial carotenoids. However, the metabolic and regulatory mechanisms underlying their accumulation remain incompletely understood. Metabolomic profiling identified 32 carotenoids and showed that the O genotype reached peak carotenoid accumulation at the early swelling stage, with 17 xanthophylls present at higher levels than in a white-fleshed (W)...
