Tocopherol functions in photosynthetic organisms.

Current opinion in plant biology - 1 Jun 2007

Maeda Hiroshi, DellaPenna Dean

Abstract excerpt

During the past decade, the genes required for tocopherol (vitamin E) synthesis in plants and cyanobacteria have been identified. A series of mutants in which specific pathway steps are disrupted have been generated, providing new insights into tocopherol functions in photosynthetic organisms. Tocopherols are essential for controlling non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation during seed dormancy and seedling germination....
