Molecular characterization of homogentisate phytyltransferase and methylphytylbenzoquinol methyltransferase genes from olive fruit with regard to the tocopherol content and the response to abiotic stresses

Two cDNA sequences, named OepHPT and OepMPBQ MT, encoding homogentisate phytyltransferase (HPT) and methylphytylbenzoquinol methyltransferase (MPBQ MT), respectively, have been cloned from olive (Olea europaea cv. Picual). Sequence analysis displayed the distinguishing characteristics typical of the...
