Callus cultures: an alternative research tool to study regulatory mechanisms od carotenoid biosynthesis

Every single step happened in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway in the leaves is regulated by respective genes. It was presumed that these genes would be inherited by the undifferentiated cells (callus) since they were initiated from the intact plants. Thus, the callus is most likely to develop an...
