Determination of the genomic structure of homogentisate geranylgeranyl transferase gene of oil palm
Elaeis guineensis originated from West Africa is the only species that was planted in the Malaysian plantation as a commercial oil palm. Since 1971, Malaysia has been the largest producer and exporter of oil palm. Oil palm is rich in vitamin E that consists of two major molecules which are tocophero...

Since 1971, Malaysia has been the largest producer and exporter of oil palm. Oil palm is rich in vitamin E that consists of two major molecules which are tocopherols and tocotrienols. Oil palm is the richest source of tocotrienol. Homogentisate geranylgeranyl transferase (HGGT) is the enzyme that initiates tocotrienol synthesis in monocot seeds such as oil palm.
