---|---|---|
physiological function | transgenic expression of the barley homogentisic acid geranylgeranyl transferase in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves results in accumulation of tocotrienols, which are absent from leaves of nontransformed plants, and a 10- to 15fold increase in total tocotrienols plus tocopherols. Overexpression of the barley enzyme in corn seeds results in an increase in tocotrienol and tocopherol content of as much as 6fold | Hordeum vulgare |
