VITAMIN SYNTHESIS IN PLANTS: Tocopherols and Carotenoids

7 Feb 2006

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids and tocopherols are the two most abundant groups of lipid-soluble antioxidants in chloroplasts. In addition to their many functional roles in photosynthetic organisms, these compounds are also essential components of animal diets, including humans. During the past decade, a near complete set of genes required for the synthesis of both classes of compounds in photosynthetic tissues has been identified,...
