Characterization of crtRB1- and vte4-based biofortified sweet corn inbreds for seed vigour and physico-biochemical traits

Hema S. Chauhan et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the nutritional quality, seed vigour, and various physico-biochemical traits of a set of biofortified sweet corn inbreds and traditional sweet corn inbreds. The biofortified inbreds showed higher provitamin A and vitamin E levels, and significant variation in seed vigour and physico-biochemical traits was observed. Electrical conductivity and α-amylase activity were identified as reliable indicators for seed germination and vigour assessment.

Vitamin E synthesis and response in plants

Yue Niu et al.

Summary: Vitamin E is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that is essential for both humans and plants. The biosynthesis pathway of vitamin E has been extensively studied, but the chlorophyll-derived prenyl precursors for synthesizing vitamin E are still unknown. Recent research has made significant progress in understanding vitamin E and its role in plant stress response and signaling.
