Abstract:Selected tomato genotypes with contrasting fruit colors of orange and red were investigated for sequence-level variations of candidate genes involved in lycopene cyclization. Sequence-specific markers for tomato lycopene beta-cyclase (3) and lycopene epsilon-cyclase (1) genes were designed and used to screen for putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) through Ecotype Targeted Induced Local Lesions IN Genome (EcoTILLING) and Sanger sequencing. Despite being regarded as among the evolutionarily conserved… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
