- Abstract
The article offers information on a study which aims to efficiently produce Coenzyme Q10 in rice by introducing the gene for decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (DdsA) into rice sugary and shrunken mutants. It says that the study utilized the rice cultivar Nipponbare and the DdsA gene was isolated from Gluconobacter suboxydans. The result is a genetically modified rice cultivar that produces 1.3 to 1.6 times coenzyme Q10 as earlier enriched rice did.
