A Role for Tocopherol Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis Basal Immunity to Bacterial Infection1[OPEN]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Tocopherol biosynthesis is required for effective basal resistance of Arabidopsis to Pseudomonas syringae infection. Tocopherols are lipid-soluble antioxidants synthesized in plastids of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.

Assessment of vitamin E status in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome: plasma, plasma corrected for lipids or red blood cell measurements? [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background:</b> There is some evidence that the plasma vitamin E status is perturbed as part of systemic inflammatory response and correcting this with other plasma markers may not lead to reliable results.

Alpha-tocopherol exerts protective function against the mucotoxicity of particulate matter in amphibian and human goblet cells [PDF]
, 2020 Exposure to particulate matter (PM) in ambient air is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders and mortality. The cytotoxicity of PM is mainly due to the abnormal increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cellular components ...

Engineering tocopherol biosynthetic pathway in lettuce
Biologia Plantarum, 2011 In order to increase tocopherol content, genes encoding Arabidopsis homogentisate phytyltransferase (HPT) and γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) were constitutively over-expressed in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. logifolia), alone or in combination.

Tocopherols in Sunflower Seedlings under Light and Dark Conditions
The Scientific World Journal, 2015 The objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of tocopherols in cotyledons and radicles from sunflower seeds with high and low total tocopherol content, mainly in the α-tocopherol form, and from seeds with increased proportions of β-, γ-, and ...
