A Single Amino Acid Insertion in LCYB2 Deflects Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Red Carrot
2021-06-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Carotenoids are phytochemicals that are precursors of vitamin A and effective antioxidants, required for human health. The mechanisms and underlying genetic network responsible for regulating carotenoid production in plants, however, is poorly understood, despite the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway being known. We found that a single amino acid insertion in lycopene β-cyclase2 (LCYB2) c...
