"TyrA GENES AND ITS USES". The present invention is in the field of plant genetics and biochemistry. More specifically, the invention relates to genes associated with the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway. The present invention provides and includes nucleic acid molecules, proteins and antibodies associated with the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway genes. The present invention also provides methods for using such agents, for example in gene isolation, gene analysis and production of transgenic plants. In addition, the present invention includes transgenic plants modified to express proteins associated with the tocopherol pathway. Further, the present invention includes methods for producing products of the tocopherol biosynthesis pathway. |
