Pathway Editing Targets for Thiamine Biofortification in Rice Grains

Pathway Editing Targets for Thiamine Biofortification in Rice Grains

Thiamine deficiency is common in populations consuming polished rice as a major source of carbohydrates. Thiamine is required to synthesize thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), an essential cofactor of enzymes of central metabolism. Its biosynthesis pathway has been partially elucidated and the effect of o...
