Abstract
⺠Tocopherol amounts were lower in apple fruits than in other apple organs. ⺠Apple fruit MdHPT1 gene was overexpressed in transgenic tomato plants. ⺠The level of α-tocopherol in transgenic tomato fruits increased up to 1.7-fold. ⺠Transgenic tomato leaves contained about 3.6-fold higher levels of α-tocopherol. ⺠Apple MdHPT1 plays a role in tocopherol production in transgenic tomato tissues.
