Carotenoids are naturally occurring fat-soluble pigments found in many organisms. Because of their extensively conjugated carbon–carbon double bond system, carotenoids potent antioxidants. Although the most abundant carotenoid and best singlet oxygen quencher red tomatoes is lycopene, profiles may vary between genotypes. The objective this work was to perform profile indentification using HPLC-...

Root restriction is suitable for horticultural soilless cultivation characterized by high efficiency and quality in the case of density low node order pinching.
