Metabolic engineering of potato carotenoid content through tuber-specific overexpression of a bacterial mini-pathway.
<h4>Background</h4>Since the creation of "Golden Rice", biofortification of plant-derived foods is a promising strategy for the alleviation of nutritional deficiencies. Potato is the most important staple food for mankind after the cereals rice, wheat and maize, and is extremel...
