The present study aimed to identify the regulatory mechanisms of red, blue, and white light on carotenoid biosynthesis in maize sprouts. Determinations of carotenoid, chlorophyll and phytohormone profiles, as well as relative gene expression, were explored. The results identified enhancement of carotenoid and chlorophyll production as well as gene expression. Most notably, the expression levels of <i>CRY</i>, <i>HY5</i>, and beta-carotene 3-hydroxylase genes peaked under blue light. Photomorphog ...[more]
