About LuteinLab.Unh.edu
The goal of our research program is to investigate ways to increase the phytonutrient content of food crops. Our current focus is to determine the cultural, environmental, and genetic factors that contribute to increased carotenoid production in green leafy vegetables. We're working with kale (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) as model systems to investigate these factors because these vegetables can produce very high levels of carotenoids in their tissues.
