Progress in the dissection and manipulation of plant vitamin E biosynthesis.

2006-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Plants contain many unique biosynthetic pathways producing a diverse array of natural products that are important for plant function, agriculture, and human nutrition. The tocochromanols define one such class of compounds, comprised of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols that are collectively termed vitamin E. Tocochromanols are synthesized only by plants and other oxygenic, photosynthetic organisms, and the ei...
