High expression of tocochromanol biosynthesis genes increases the vitamin E level in a new line of giant embryo rice.

Abstract excerpt

'Shangshida No. 5' is a new variety of giant embryo rice derived from a single-point mutation of the giant embryo gene (ge) in 'Chao2-10' rice. This study quantified the levels of eight vitamin E homologues (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol and α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienol) in brown rice, embryos, endosperm, and developing seeds of giant embryo and normal embryo rice using a normal phase high-performance liquid...
