Effect of betanin synthesis on photosynthesis and tyrosine metabolism in transgenic carrot

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Betalain is a natural pigment with important nutritional value and broad application prospects. Previously, we produced betanin biosynthesis transgenic carrots via expressing optimized genes CYP76AD1S, cDOPA5GTS and DODA1S.
