Examining strategies to facilitate vitamin B(1) biofortification of plants by genetic engineering

Thiamin (vitamin B(1)) is made by plants and microorganisms but is an essential micronutrient in the human diet. All organisms require it as a cofactor in its form as thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) for the activity of key enzymes of central metabolism. In humans, deficiency is widespread particularly i...
