Gene-metabolite networks reveal physiological trade-offs but not transcriptional co-regulation between carotenoid and dry matter accumulation in cassava (Manihot esculenta) roots

Provitamin A biofortification of cassava (Manihot esculenta) is constrained by a negative genetic correlation between total carotenoid (TC) and dry matter (DM) contents, but its underlying biological mechanism remains unclear. We examined this relationship in 24 African, Latin Am...
