3.6 Expression of related synthetic genes and carotenoids
content
Following
BL exposure, nine DEGs were mapped to the ”Carotenoid biosynthesis”
pathway. The genes encoding Car synthesis, includingPSY , were significantly
upregulated following BL exposure, implying that BL effectively promoted
Car accumulation (Fig. 6A). Indeed, Car content was significantly
increased with BL exposure, consistent with the signaling pathway
enrichment analysis and gene expression.
