No problem. I'm still gathering data and will continue participating in this discussion.

In my literature research, I've found evidence suggestive of an alternate pathway to synthesize beta-carotene. It isn't something that anyone seems to be studying directly, but it has turned up a few times as a relatively high beta-carotene in mutational contexts which should have interfered with its production by the well-studied pathway.
I wouldn't be surprised if "Sunray" was tt, but with a modifier that activated that alternate pathway. …at least this is a hypothetical situation that would be consistent.
