Silencing of beta-carotene hydroxylase increases total carotenoid and beta-carotene levels in potato tubers
BACKGROUND: Beta-carotene is the main dietary precursor of vitamin A. Potato tubers contain low levels of carotenoids, composed mainly of the xanthophylls lutein (in the beta-epsilon branch) and violaxanthin (in the beta-beta branch). None of these carotenoids have provitamin A activity. We have pre...
