Engineering vitamin E content: from Arabidopsis mutant to soy oil.
We report the identification and biotechnological utility of a plant gene encoding the tocopherol (vitamin E) biosynthetic enzyme 2-methyl-6-phytylbenzoquinol methyltransferase. This gene was identified by map-based cloning of the Arabidopsis mutation vitamin E pathway gene3-1 (vte3-1), which causes increased accumulation of delta-tocopherol and decreased gamma-tocopherol in the seed. Enzyme as...
متن کاملMultigene engineering of triacylglycerol metabolism boosts seed oil content in Arabidopsis.
Increasing the yield of oilseed crops is an important objective for biotechnologists. A number of individual genes involved in triacylglycerol metabolism have previously been reported to enhance the oil content of seeds when their expression is altered. However, it has yet to be established whether specific combinations of these genes can be used to achieve an additive effect and whether this l...
متن کاملBAEgrid: From e-Science to e-Engineering
The BAE SYSTEMS Advanced Technology Centre is currently constructing a prototype Grid infrastructure “BAEgrid”. BAEgrid is designed as an in-house “laboratory” in which we can exercise grid concepts, capabilities and tools to develop and evaluate a range of Grid-enabled business scenarios. This is facilitated by our close relationship with the world-leading UK e-Science programme, and is being ...
متن کاملVitamin E content in fish oil emulsion does not prevent lipoperoxidative effects on human colorectal tumors.
OBJECTIVE The anticancer action exerted by polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation may not be reproduced by commercially available lipid emulsions rich in vitamin E. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of fish oil (FO) emulsion containing α-tocopherol 0.19 g/L on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and tumors. METHODS HT-29 cell growth, survival, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation were analy...
متن کاملContent Production for E-Learning in Engineering
The didactic quality of learning materials can be improved by enriching learning material with didactic information. Such content elements assist self-directed learning processes in virtual learning environments effectively. In order to develop didactically motivated for flexible use, e.g., at different terminal devices such as PC or PDA, a structured procedure is required. We propose the selec...
