In natural products the most common carotenoid is the yellow-orange pigment of the carrot (Daucus carota), the ß,ß-carotene. It was isolated in crystalline form as early as in 1831 by Wackenroder. Later, it gave the name to the entire class of these compounds.

Carrots were native to Afghanistan, cultivated in the Mediterranean region as early at 500 B.C. and they spread throughout Europe. The Dutch have also been credited with their cultivation from wild carrot stocks in the Middle Ages.
Introgression between crops and their wild relatives has occurred regularly all over the world, including The Netherlands. The growing economical interest in and public concern about genetic modification of crops make it essential to assess the potential incidence of such events.
