Functional Differentiation of BnVTE4 Gene Homologous Copies in α-Tocopherol Biosynthesis Revealed by CRISPR/Cas9 Editing
11 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Tocopherols are essential nutrients for human health known as vitamin E. Vitamin E deficiency can have a profound effect on human health, including the central nervous system and cardiovascular and immune protection. Multiple enzymatic steps are involved in the conversion between different forms of tocopherols. Among them, γ-tocopherol methyltransferase encoded by gene VTE4 catalyzes the conversion of γ- to...
