Inheritance and mapping of the ore gene controlling the quantity of β-carotene in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) endocarp

2012-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The metabolic precursor of vitamin A, β-carotene, is essential for human health. The gene(s) controlling β-carotene quantity (QβC) has been introgressed from Xishuangbanna gourd (XIS, possessing β-carotene; Cucumis sativus L. var. xishuangbannanesis Qi et Yuan; 2n = 2x = 14) into cultivated cucumber (no β-carotene; Cucumis sativus L.). To determine the inheritance of QβC in cucumber fruit endocarp, F1 progeny and...
