Vitamin E biofortification: enhancement of seed tocopherol concentrations by altered chlorophyll metabolism

Vitamin E biofortification: enhancement of seed tocopherol concentrations by altered chlorophyll metabolism

Homogentisate Phytyltransferase (HPT) catalyzes condensation of homogentisate (HGA) and phytyl diphosphate (PDP) to produce tocopherols, but can also synthesize tocotrienols using geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) in plants engineered for deregulated HGA synthesis. In contrast to prior tocotrienol b...
