Delayed Starch Degradation Triggers Chromoplast Structural Aberration to Inhibit Carotenoid Cleavage: A Novel Mechanism for Flower Color Deepening in Osmanthus fragrans

Horticulturae
The color of flowers in Osmanthus fragrans is regulated by carotenoid metabolism. The orange-red variety, Dangui, is believed to have evolved from the yellow variety, Jingui, through a natural bud mutation. This study uses the Jingui cultivar ‘Jinqiu Gui’
