Fig. 6

Transcript abundance for 6 major genes coding for enzymes/proteins related to carotenoid biosynthesis in cassava storage root. Transcript abundance based on qRT_PCR analysis. Four cassava landraces are representing four color classes (W-IAC12, IY-Cas64 and Cas62, P-Cas51) with the most contrasting HPLC_DAD carotenoid profiles. Values refer to measured cDNA amplified amount of target RNA (nanogram/mgTotal RNA). . Values refer to natural log for microarray fluorescence readings. Enzyme abbreviation and gene code in cassava genome are shown. Values in parenthesis refer to p_value (p < 0.05) obtained with three biological replications by Kruskal-Wallis statistical test and significance between values is designated by different letters
