Gene Details:

• Gene ID: DCAR_020269
• Gene Symbol: DcBCH1
• Gene Name: non-heme carotene hydroxylase
• Genome: carrot genome (https://www.nature.com/articles/ng.3565)
• 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.
• Overexpression of DcBCH1 in ‘KRD’ (high carotene accumulated) carrot changed the taproot color from orange to yellow, accompanied by substantial reductions in α-carotene and β-carotene.
• DcBCH1 played the main function of BCH enzyme, which could hydroxylate α-carotene and β-carotene.
• DcBCH1 and DcBCH2 had functional redundancy, and these two DcBCHs could partially compensate for each other.
