Functional analyses of tomato 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme a reductase (HMGR) genes in transgenic plants engineered for altered HMGR expression

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGR, EC 1.1.1.34) mediates the first regulatory step (HMG-CoA reduction to mevalonate) in isoprenoid biosynthesis. The tomato genome contains at least four differentially regulated hmg isogenes encoding HMGR. Functions of tomato hmg2 in defense responses we...
