Segregation of Total Carotenoid in High Level Potato Germplasm and Its Relationship to Beta-Carotene Hydroxylase Polymorphism
2006-01-01
Abstract excerpt
High carotenoid potato may have particular value for human health due to the antioxidant properties and the therapeutic value for eye health in patients at risk for macular degeneration. Carotenoid concentrations were determined among the progeny of a cross between two high carotenoid lines derived from diploidPapa Amarilla germplasm from South America. The total carotenoid content ranged from 82 to 2686 μg / 100...
