Tocopherol levels in different mango varieties correlate with expression and its over-expression elevates tocopherols in transgenic and tomato.

Mango fruit tocopherol levels vary in different varieties during ripening. This study shows that tocopherol accumulation is highly correlated with its p-hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase () gene expression during ripening. transcript is ethylene induced and differentially expressed in four mango varieties used in this study.
