Relative expression of upstream and downstream genes related to the Ntε-LCY branch of the CBP after exposuring to normal light (photon flux density (PAR) = 250 μmoL m−2 s−1) and high light ( photon flux density (PAR) = 1000 μmoL m−2 s−1) for 2 h. Phytoene synthase (PSY), phytoene desaturase (PDS), ζ-carotene desaturase (ZDS), carotenoid isomerase (CRTISO), β-lycopenecyclase (β-LCY), β-carotene hydroxylase (β-OHase), violaxanthin deepoxidase (VDE), zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZE), and neoxanthin synthase (NXS) are shown. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post-hoc test)
