agriculture | overexpression of Brassica juncea wild-type and mutant (S359A) 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase in Solanum lycopersicum, causes an accumulation of mevalonate-derived squalene and phytosterols, as well as methylerythritol phosphate (methylerythritol phosphate)-derived alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and carotenoids. Genes associated with the biosyntheses of C10, C15 and C20 universal precursors of isoprenoids, phytosterols, brassino-steroids, dolichols, methylerythritol phosphate, carotenoid and vitamin E are upregulated. In S359A tomato fruits, increased squalene and phytosterol contents over wild-type fruits are attributed to heightened SlHMGR2, SlFPS1, SlSQS and SlCYP710A11 expression. In both tomato wild-type and S359A fruits, the up-regulation of SlGPS and SlGGPPS1 in the mevalonate pathway that leads to alpha-tocopherol and carotenoid accumulation indicates cross-talk between the mevalonate and methylerythritol phosphate pathways. The manipulation of Brassica juncea 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase 1 (HMGS1) represents a promising strategy to simultaneously elevate health-promoting squalene, phytosterols, alpha-tocopherol and carotenoids in tomato, an edible fruit | Brassica juncea |
