Wild carrot (Daucus carota var. carota) cell suspensions (63 120 µm in diameter) were grown on a mineral salt medium containing different carbon sources in the presence (10 mM) and absence of myo-inositol.
biennial that is closely related to garden carrots, but with a much reduced taproot. During the second year of growth, the plants produce stalks with white, flat-topped flowers.

CARROTS INTRODUCTION The carrot (Daucus carota L.) belongs to the family Apiaceae. It is related to celery, celeriac, coriander, fennel, parsnip and parsley, which are all members of this family. The carrot originated in Asia.
Somatic heart- and torpedo-stage embryos of the domesticated carrot, Daucus carota L., were severed at their midlengths to produce two halves termed apical and basal pieces. These pieces may be grafted or kept separate.
Unlike all plant inward-rectifying potassium channels, the carrot channel KDC1 has two histidine pairs (H161,H162) in the S3 S4 and (H224,H225) in the S5 S6 linkers.
Origin of the name (etimology) : Well known by our forefathers who used to give it heating properties : "daucus" comes from daukos, name given by the Greeks to some members of the the Umbelliferae family and it seems to derive from "daîo" : I overheat .
Carrot red leaf associated RNA (CtRLVaRNA) was originally described in Californian carrots (Daucus carota L.) (Watson et al., 1998). It has also been reported from parsley (Petroselenium crispum) in Belgium (Vercruysse et al., 2000).
