Vitamin E is essential for seed longevity and for preventing lipid peroxidation during germination.

The Plant cell - 1 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

Tocopherols (vitamin E) are lipophilic antioxidants synthesized by all plants and are particularly abundant in seeds. Despite cloning of the complete suite of tocopherol biosynthetic enzymes and successful engineering of the tocopherol content and composition of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves and seeds, the functions of tocopherols in plants have remained elusive. To address this issue, we have isolated and...
