摘要：

The unraveling in recent years of the pathways and genes that are responsible for biosynthesis of vitamins and carotenoids in plants has provided new molecular tools that can be utilized to genetically modify the content and composition of these compounds in vivo. There have been recent examples of successful manipulation of carotenoid composition and vitamin E activity in plants using gene-transfer technology,
