Engineered plants with elevated vitamin E: a nutraceutical success story

Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Trends in Biotechnology, 22(3), p.3104-3107, 2004Trabajos contenidos:
  • Ajjawi, I
  • Shintani, D
Recursos en línea: Resumen: Vitamin E has been touted as a panacea for age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease and, thus, the demand for this nutraceutical has increased dramatically in recent years. This demand has, in turn, driven research to increase vitamin E production from plant sources. We have summarized the cumulative work of several groups in this area, describing the current status of efforts to bioengineer plants for elevated vitamin E content.
