Vitamin E biosynthesis genes in rice: Molecular characterization, expression profiling and comparative phylogenetic analysis
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Vitamin E comprises four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, collectively termed tocochromanols that play an essential role as antioxidants in humans, animals and photosynthetic organisms and are also believed to play a role in modulation of signal transduction and gene expression pathways. In rice and Populus genome, we have identified 7 and 11 tocochromanol biosynthesis genes, respectively. A detailed study of do...
