Effect of abiotic stress on carotenoids accumulation in pumpkin plants and callusses under light and dark conditions

Pumpkin is abundantly planted in Malaysia and very rich with carotenoid compounds that can support healthy living due to its antioxidant properties. However, the research on its carotenoid compound has not received the attention it deserves, either from researchers or government. This research was c...
