nucleic acid sequence encoding a prenyltransferase, constructing the same, as well as methods for altering tocopherol content, producing a tocopherol compound, and increasing biosynthetic flow in a cell

摘要

"nucleic acid sequences for proteins involved in tocopherol synthesis". Nucleic acid sequences and methods are provided for the production of plants and seeds having altered tocopherol content and compositions. The methods find particular use in increasing tocopherol levels in plants and in providing desirable tocopherol compositions in a host plant cell.
