Metabolic engineering of high carotenoid potato tubers containing enhanced levels of beta-carotene and lutein

Metabolic engineering of high carotenoid potato tubers containing enhanced levels of beta-carotene and lutein

In order to enhance the carotenoid content of potato tubers, transgenic potato plants have been produced expressing an Erwinia uredovora crtB gene encoding phytoene synthase, specifically in the tuber of Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Desiree which normally produces tubers containing c. 5.6 microg ca...
