Effect of abiotic stress on carotenoids accumulation in orange sweet potato calluses under light and dark conditions

Abiotic stress factors are the main limitation to plant growth and yield in agriculture. Orange sweet potatoes may become major sources of carotenoids in the diet, but the extent of environmental and genetic influences on plant carotenoid biosynthesis are poorly understood. Carotenoid biosynthesis i...
