2016-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Carotenes are plant secondary metabolites that are important for human health. Additionally, carotenes influence fruit color, which is a major trait for breeding. We compared the expression and sequences of genes related to color phenotypes in tomato inbred lines that produce different colors of fleshy fruit. Up-regulation of CYC-B expression and higher amount of β-carotene content in fruit ripening stage and nucl...
