The relationship between carotenoids and chlorophylls in the leaves of the grapevine population altered for VvCCD1 expression. RP-HPLC analysis of the VvCCD1-overexpressing (dark grey square symbol), VvCCD1-silenced (RNAi) (light grey triangle symbol) and wild-type (×) grapevine plants used in the study showed positive correlation (R2 = 0.90) between the total carotenoid concentration and the total chlorophyll concentration in the leaves (n = 3).
