Genetic engineering of beta-carotene production in honeydew melons (Cucumis melo L. inodorus) /

Genetic transformation is a useful tool to incorporate novel genes, potentially allowing sexual incompatibility and interspecific barriers to be circumvented. The purpose of this study was to improve beta-carotene levels in melon fruits by transferring a phytoene synthase (PSY) gene. At present, the...
