Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal Potential Genes Involved in Photoperiod-Regulated β-Carotene Accumulation Mechanisms in the Endocarp of Cucumber (<i>Cucumis sativus</i> L.) Fruit

Transcriptomic and Physiological Analyses Reveal Potential Genes Involved in Photoperiod-Regulated β-Carotene Accumulation Mechanisms in the Endocarp of Cucumber (<i>Cucumis sativus</i> L.) Fruit

The accumulation of carotenoids in plants is a key nutritional quality in many horticultural crops. Although the structural genes encoding the biosynthetic enzymes are well-characterized, little is known regarding photoperiod-mediated carotenoid accumulation in the fruits of some horticultural crops...
