TL;DR: Microarray analysis was used to identify a number of genes that were consistently up- or down-regulated in transgenic crtB tubers compared with empty vector controls, and the implications from a nutritional standpoint and for further modifications of tuber carotenoid content are discussed.

TL;DR: The data indicate that potato plants grown at moderately elevated temperatures do not exhibit classic symptoms of abiotic stress but that tuber development responds via a diversity of biochemical and molecular signals.

TL;DR: There was an inverse trend between the level of zeaxanthin epoxidase transcript level and tuber carotenoid content in a range of potato germplasm, giving rise to an hypothesis for the regulation of carotENogenesis in potato tubers.

TL;DR: The product of the CCD4 reaction may be an important factor in tuber heat responses, and carotenoid levels were elevated in flower petals from RNAi lines, suggesting that the in vivo substrate may act as the in vitro substrate.
