从农业的角度来看,胡萝卜因其营养价值而成为木薯科重要的根茎类蔬菜作物,健康优势,和经济重要性。胡萝卜的可食用部分,被称为存储根,含有各种有益的化合物,如类胡萝卜素,花青素,膳食纤维,维生素,和其他营养素。作为营养食品中重要的蔬菜和原料,它在人类营养中起着至关重要的作用,食物,和制药行业。胡萝卜田的种植易受广泛的生物和非生物危害,这会严重损害植物的健康,降低产量和质量。科学研究主要集中在重要的生物应激源,包括害虫,比如线虫和胡萝卜蝇,以及疾病,如空腔斑点,树冠或棉腐病,黑腐病,和叶枯病,由细菌引起的,真菌,和卵菌。该领域的新挑战包括全面了解胡萝卜-病原体系统中宿主与病原体之间的相互作用,确定有助于疾病发展的元素,扩大系统治疗的知识,探索宿主抗性机制,开发集成控制程序,并通过育种方法增强抗性。事实上,热带和亚热带气候中的主要胡萝卜种植区正在经历非生物压力,比如干旱,盐度,和热应力,这限制了胡萝卜的生产。这篇综述提供了广泛的,关于增强和可持续胡萝卜生产的生物和非生物因素的最新文献综述,考虑使用不同的技术来延长胡萝卜的保质期。因此,它解决了胡萝卜生产链中的当前问题,为探索胡萝卜作为食品商品和天然化合物的来源开辟了新的视角。
From an agricultural perspective, carrots are a significant tap root vegetable crop in the Apiaceae family because of their nutritional value, health advantages, and economic importance. The edible part of a
carrot, known as the storage root, contains various beneficial compounds, such as carotenoids, anthocyanins, dietary fiber, vitamins, and other nutrients. It has a crucial role in human nutrition as a significant vegetable and raw material in the nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The cultivation of
carrot fields is susceptible to a wide range of biotic and abiotic hazards, which can significantly damage the plants\' health and decrease yield and quality. Scientific research mostly focuses on important biotic stressors, including pests, such as nematodes and carrot flies, as well as diseases, such as cavity spots, crown or cottony rot, black rot, and leaf blight, caused by bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. The emerging challenges in the field include gaining a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between hosts and pathogens in the carrot-pathogen system, identifying the elements that contribute to disease development, expanding knowledge of systemic treatments, exploring host resistance mechanisms, developing integrated control programs, and enhancing resistance through breeding approaches. In fact, the primary
carrot-growing regions in tropical and subtropical climates are experiencing abiotic pressures, such as drought, salinity, and heat stress, which limit
carrot production. This review provides an extensive, up-to-date overview of the literature on biotic and abiotic factors for enhanced and sustainable carrot production, considering the use of different technologies for the shelf-life extension of carrots. Therefore, it addresses the current issues in the
carrot production chain, opening new perspectives for the exploration of carrots both as a food commodity and as a source of natural compounds.
