Carotenoid profile in ripe-red tomato pericarp tissue of two det1 mutant genotypes, hp-2^dg and hp-2^j, in comparison to their isogenic normal counterparts

Values represent average carotenoid concentrations (in μg g⁻¹ fresh weight) ± se. Different superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences between means of each carotenoid within each genotype pair [P(F) < 0.005].
