DcCCD4 catalyzes the degradation of α‐carotene and β‐carotene to affect carotenoid accumulation and taproot color in carrot

SUMMARY Carotenoids are important natural pigments that give bright colors to plants. The difference in the accumulation of carotenoids is one of the key factors in the formation of various colors in carrot taproots. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs), including CCD and 9‐cis epoxycarotenoid di...
