TL;DR: The potato genome sequence provides a platform for genetic improvement of this vital crop and predicts 39,031 protein-coding genes and presents evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative of a palaeopolyploid origin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin synthesis in plants: tocopherols and carotenoids.
Dean DellaPenna,Barry J. Pogson +1 more
TL;DR: Carotenoids and tocopherols are the two most abundant groups of lipid-soluble antioxidants in chloroplasts and are already providing a knowledge base for breeding and transgenic approaches to modify the types and levels of these important compounds in agricultural crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin E Is Essential for Seed Longevity and for Preventing Lipid Peroxidation during Germination
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a primary function of tocopherols in plants is to limit nonenzymatic lipid oxidation during seed storage, germination, and early seedling development, and the vte mutant phenotypes explain the strong selection for retention of toCopherol biosynthesis during the evolution of seed-bearing plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevating the Vitamin E Content of Plants Through Metabolic Engineering
TL;DR: Overexpression of gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase in Arabidopsis seeds shifted oil compositions in favor of alpha-Tocopherol, and increases in agricultural oil crops would increase vitamin E levels in the average U.S. diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the nutrient composition of plants to enhance human nutrition and health1
TL;DR: This review focuses on the plant nutritional physiology and biochemistry of two essential human nutrients, iron and vitamin E, to provide examples of the type of information that is needed, and the strategies that can be used, to improve the mineral or organic nutrient composition of plants.
