Abstract excerpt
Carotenoids and tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants with important functions in plants and humans. Due to their nutritional value and putative health benefits, they have become a focus of intensive research. The identification of all genes of the carotenoid and tocopherol biosynthesis has enabled the manipulation of their biosynthetic pathways, aiming for quantitative and qualitative improvement. In plants,...
