Transcriptional and protein structural characterization of homogentisate phytyltransferase genes in barley, wheat, and oat

Abstract Background Homogentisate phytyltransferase (HPT) is the critical enzyme for the biosynthesis of tocopherols (vitamin E), which are the major lipid-soluble antioxidants and help plants adapt to various stress conditions. HPT is generally strictly conserved in various plant genomes; however,...
