This study involves the induced production of α-tocotrienol by the co-suppression of tocopherol cyclase gene. The Tocopherol/tocotrienol Cyclase (TC) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of α-tocotrienol. The partial conserved cDNA of TC gene isolated from the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) th...
