Basic mutant information
Mutant name	gamma-TMT-silenced plant
Mutant/Transgenic	transgenic
Ecotype	potato (Solanum tuberosum)
Mutagenesis type	RNAi
(Semi-)Dominant/Recessive	recessive
Description	Knockdown of gamma-TMT resulted in an up to 95% reduction of alpha-tocopherol in leaves of the transgenics, which was almost quantitatively compensated for by an increase in gamma-tocopherol.
