LITERATURE
biotechnology
overexpression of enzyme in Latuca sativa results in higher enzyme activity and the conversion of the gamma-tocopherol pool to alpha-tocopherol in transgenic lettuce
nutrition
increase in the alpha-tocopherol content in the soybean seed, due to transgenically modulated enzyme activity, could have a potential to significantly increase the dietary intake of vitamin E
synthesis
introducing the enzyme into soybean can be used to increase the vitamin E composition in seeds
