Characterization of Carotenoid Accumulation and Carotenogenic Gene Expression During Fruit Development in Yellow and White Loquat Fruit

Accumulation of carotenoids in peel and pulp of the yellow-fleshed loquat ‘Zaozhong 6’ (ZZ6) and the white-fleshed loquat ‘Baiyu’ (BY) were tracked during different fruit development stages, and the expression of 15 carotenogenic genes were analyzed.
