Resumo |
This thesis investigated the basis for massive differences in provitamin A carotenoid content in banana fruits. Rather than gene expression levels, carotenoid storage capacity and product degradation explained much of the differences. Such information should provide important insights for future developments in the biofortification of banana. A high carotenoid-containing cultivar, 'Asupina' and a popular commercial but low carotenoid-containing cultivar, 'Cavendish' were used in the investigations. |
