FIGURE 1

Pepper fruits and carotenoid profiles of AC08-201 and AC08-201 showed less carotenoid accumulation in AC08-201 fruit. (A–C) Pepper fruits are displayed in a clockwise di ection according to the ripening stages. An asterisk indicates fully expanded immature fruits. (A) In AC08-045, fruit color changes from dark green to yellow and then light yellow. (B) In AC08-201, fruit color starts out light green and becomes light yellow to white. (C) Fruit color of an F1 hybrid is similar to that of AC08-045. Scale bar, 1 cm. (D) F2 individuals from cross between AC08-045 and AC08-201. Seven pairs of immature and mature fruit from each F2 individuals were selected from F2 population and shown in the figure. (E) Carotenoid profiles of AC08-201 and AC08-201. Carotenoids extracted from mature fruit pericarp. Levels of four major carotenoids, lutein, neoxanthin, antheraxanthin, and zeaxanthin, are shown in the graph. Horizontal bars indicate standard deviations of each carotenoid content.
