Metabolic engineering of potato tuber carotenoids through tuber-specific silencing of lycopene epsilon cyclase
BACKGROUND: Potato is a major staple food, and modification of its provitamin content is a possible means for alleviating nutritional deficiencies. beta-carotene is the main dietary precursor of vitamin A. Potato tubers contain low levels of carotenoids, composed mainly of the xanthophylls lutein, a...
