New genetic sources for orange color in cucumber ( <i>Cucumis sativus L.</i> ) fruit flesh

2019-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Most cucumber varieties have fruits with white flesh, which is devoid of ß-carotene and has a low concentration of total carotenoids. Carotenoids are important nutrients for humans and animals. Thus, developing cucumber varieties with orange flesh could provide a new nutritionally enhanced food source. Some cucumbers with yellow and orange flesh have been described, but there are others that have not been studied....
