malfunction | downregulation of tomato phytol kinase strongly impairs tocopherol biosynthesis and affects prenyllipid metabolism in an organ-specific manner. VTE5-deficient plants display starch accumulation and lower CO2 assimilation in leaves associated with mild yield penalty. Carbohydrate export blockage in the VTE5-deficient plants affecting tomato fruit quality. Chlorophyll content is not affected in SlVTE5-RNAi lines. Phenotype, overview | Solanum lycopersicum |
metabolism | the enzyme is essential in tocopherol biosynthesis, tocopherol biosynthetic and related pathways, overview | Solanum lycopersicum |
physiological function | chlorophyll phytol tail recycling depends on phytol kinase activity. Phytol diphosphate is required for synthesis of tocopherol involving the condensation with an aromatic head group | Solanum lycopersicum |
