Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. No. 60 / 365,202 filed Mar. 19, 2002, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present invention is in the field of plant genetics and biochemistry. More specifically, the present invention relates to genes and polypeptides associated with the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway, namely those encoding homogentisate prenyl transferase activity, and uses thereof.

[0003] Isoprenoids are ubiquitous compounds found in all living organisms. Plants synthesize a diverse array of greater than 22,000 isoprenoids (Connolly and Hill, Dictionary of Terpenoids, Chapman and Hall, New York, N.Y. (1992)). In plants, isoprenoids play essential roles in particular cell functions such as production of sterols, contributing to eukaryotic membrane architecture, acyclic polyprenoids found in the side chain of ubiquinone and plastoquinone, growth regulators like abscisic acid, gibberellins, brassinosteroids or the photo...
