Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an important biennial winter root vegetable crop. It is a repository of genetic resources for control of β-carotene, lycopene, lutein and anthocyanin contents in orange, red, yellow and black colored carrot, respectively. The research on carrot indicated the importance of marker technology for carrot genetic resources. However, the molecular marker technology, as well as reports in carrot, are lacking for targeting phenotypic traits. Development of robust microsatellite markers are utilized for identification of genes for marker intensity, high reproducibility, applicability and transferability, time and are labor saving. Recent
carrot breeding focus is on enhancement of total anthocyanin and total carotenoid content because of bioactive compounds and antioxidants which affect health. There is little information available on genetic expression and markers linked to nutritional quality traits in carrot. The objective of this paper was to review the genetics of nutritional quality traits in carrot and to identify molecular markers linked to genes using established carrot genetic maps. Having information on genetic inheritance of carrot color would help to understand expression of nutritional compounds and would lead to development of high nutritional content carrots for the tropics.
