Abstract Carrots (Daucus carota L.), among the most important root vegetables in the
Apiaceae family, are cultivated worldwide. The storage root is widely utilized due to its …

Many of the world's most important vegetables and medicinal crops, including carrot, celery,
coriander, fennel, and cumin, belong to the Apiaceae family. In this review, we summarize …

We report a high-quality chromosome-scale assembly and analysis of the carrot (Daucus
carota) genome, the first sequenced genome to include a comparative evolutionary analysis …

Domestication of wild plant species has provided us with crops that serve our human
nutritional needs. Advanced DNA sequencing has propelled the unveiling of underlying …

Here an improved carrot reference genome and resequencing of 630 carrot accessions
were used to investigate carrot domestication and improvement. The study demonstrated …

Ellison et al. provide the first evidence that the genomic region bearing the Or gene is
involved in the presence of carotenoids in carrot. Using a global collection of diverse carrot …

Diverse natural products are synthesized in plants by specialized metabolic enzymes, which
are often lineage‐specific and derived from gene duplication followed by functional …

The first domesticated carrots were thought to be purple carrots rich in anthocyanins. The
anthocyanins biosynthesis in solid purple carrot taproot was regulated by DcMYB7 within P3 …

Terpenes are an important group of secondary metabolites in carrots influencing taste and
flavor, and some of them might also play a role as bioactive substances with an impact on …

Little is known about the factors regulating carotenoid biosynthesis in roots. In this study, we
characterized DCAR_032551, the candidate gene of the Y locus responsible for the …
