Characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant deficient in gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Aug 2003

Bergmüller Eveline, Porfirova Svetlana, Dörmann Peter

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is synthesized from gamma-tocopherol in chloroplasts by gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase (gamma-TMT; VTE4). Leaves of many plant species including Arabidopsis contain high levels of alpha-tocopherol, but are low in gamma-tocopherol. To unravel the function of different forms of tocopherol in plants, an Arabidopsis plant (vte4-1) carrying a functional null mutation in the gene...
