Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: DCAR_014519
  • Gene Symbol: DcBCH2
  • Gene Name: non-heme carotene hydroxylase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Daucus carota

Functional Descriptions:

  • The relative expression level of DcBCH1 was much higher than that of DcBCH2 in carrot taproots with different carotene accumulation levels.
  • There was no obvious change in taproot color between transgenic ‘KRD’ carrot overexpressing DcBCH2 and control carrot.
  • Simultaneously, the content of α-carotene in the taproot of DcBCH2-overexpressing carrot decreased, but the content of β-carotene did not change significantly in comparison with control carrot.
  • DcBCH1 and DcBCH2 had functional redundancy, and these two DcBCHs could partially compensate for each other.
