摘要
In order to increase tocopherol content, genes encoding Arabidopsis homogentisate phytyltransferase (HPT) and gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase (gamma-TMT) were constitutively over-expressed in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. logifolia), alone or in combination. Over-expression of hpt could increase total tocopherol content, while over-expression of gamma-tmt could shift tocopherol composition in favor of alpha-tocopherol. Transgenic lettuce lines expressing both hpt and gamma-tmt produced significantly higher amount of tocopherol and elevated alpha-/gamma-tocopherol ratio compared with non-transgenic control and transgenic lines harboring a single gene (hpt or gamma-tmt). The best line produced eight times more tocopherol than the non-transgenic control and more than twice than hpt single-gene transgenic line.
