DcPAR1 is Required for Development and Carotenoid Synthesis in the Dark-Grown Carrot Taproot
2021-09-24
Abstract excerpt
Light stimulates carotenoid synthesis in plants during photomorphogenesis through the expression of PHYTOENE SYNTHASE ( PSY ), a key gene in carotenoid biosynthesis. The orange Daucus carota (carrot) synthesizes and accumulates high amounts of carotenoids in the taproot that grows underground. Contrary to other organs, light impairs carrot taproot development and represses the expression of carotenogenic genes...
