Document Summary
Vitamin e: lipid soluble antioxidant is a required dietary supplement (cid:224) or tocopherol, engineer plant seeds to produce greater amounts of tocopherol by introducing a gene tocopherol methyltransferase which adds the methyl group to tocopherol. 20. 7: scientists introduced the whole carotene biosynthetic pathway into rice, the first golden rice did not produce enough carotene to make it a reasonable source of vitamin a, scientists replaced daffodil phytoene synthase gene with a similar gene from corn that has higher activity, this produces a more reasonable amount of carotene (cid:224) no harmful side effects from dietary carotene unlike vitamin a, the strain of rice used is a lab strain but doesn"t grow well in asia (cid:224) did this in more common strains of rice. Flowers that make up 70% of the cut flower industry: roses carnations tulips chrysanthemums as alternative to traditional breeding (cid:224) manipulating genes for enzymes in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway, class of flavonoids: synthesized by amino acid phenylalanine.
