The δ-carotene over accumulating tomato, with high activity of LCY-E, is a candidate source for increased lutein. In a previous study, transgenic tomato over-expressing LCY-E showed higher accumulation of δ-carotene. This transgenic line was crossed with the Beta mutant (overexpressing LCY-B) and the resulting hybrid line was shown to accumulate high amounts of lutein because of the over-expression of LCY-E and LCY-B [ 43]. Lutein, a macular pigment in addition to zeaxanthin, is a functional nutrient. In addition, lutein plays a role in the protection of eye by absorbing the blue light, which causes light-induced injury in the photoreceptor cells [ 44]. Therefore, δ-carotene-enriched line can be a useful source for improving the lutein content in tomato fruit. A string or piece of yarn can be used to hang the finished craft from a nail or from a kitchen knob or handle. 3.
