COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REGULATION OF PLANT GAMMA-TOCOPHEROL METHYLTRANSFERASE

摘要

Disclosed herein are zinc finger proteins that bind to targt sites in a plant gammatocopherol methyl transferase (GMT) gene; compositions comprising these GMT-targeted zinc finger proteins and methods of making and using such zinc finger proteins. Also disclosed are methods for modulating the alpha-tocopherol content in various plant organs, particularly seeds, in transgenic plants.
