Gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) converts γ-toc to α-toc-the rate limiting step in toc biosynthesis. Sequencing results revealed that the coding regions of γ-TMT1 and γ-TMT3 were strongly similar to each other (93% at amino acid level). Based on the differences in the
Nitration of gamma-tocopherol has been suggested to be an important mechanism for the regulation and detoxification of reactive nitrogen oxide species in animal tissues. To investigate whether this reaction does also occur in plants, reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and
Tocopherols are lipophilic antioxidants that are synthesized exclusively in photosynthetic organisms. In most higher plants, alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are predominant with their ratio being under spatial and temporal control. While alpha-tocopherol accumulates predominantly in photosynthetic
