Yue et al. explore how jasmonates regulate carotenoid production in citrus. By Pengtao Yue Background: Beautiful, bright peel colors attract animals to help disperse seeds and are preferred by consumers. In agricultural production, citrus fruit often suffers from uneven coloration and poor development of color in the fruit peel, which limits fruit value. Carotenoids are […]
