Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a popular food supplement. Earlier, we successfully produced CoQ10 in rice, which normally produces predominately CoQ9. Here we developed efficient production of CoQ10 in rice by introducing the gene for decaprenyl diphosphate synthase into rice sugary and shrunken mutants. These rices produced 1.3 to 1.6 times as much CoQ10 as the earlier enriched rice did.
辅酶Q10(CoQ10)是一种广受欢迎的食品补充剂。此前,我们已成功在水稻中生产出CoQ10,而水稻通常主要产生CoQ9。在此,我们通过将癸异戊二烯基二磷酸合酶基因导入水稻的含糖和皱缩突变体中,开发出了在水稻中高效生产CoQ10的方法。这些水稻产生的CoQ10是早期富集水稻的1.3至1.6倍。
