Bioinformatic analysis of GTPch1

Folates are required by most living organisms yet only plants have retained the ability of de novo synthesis. Human deficiencies remain prevalent due to inadequate dietary intake. Because plants are major sources of dietary folate, We now know all the plant folate synthesis genes and some genes of folate turnover and transport, certain mechanisms governing folate synthesis, Some of this knowledge has been applied, simply and successfully, to engineer folate-enriched food crops .Much remains to be discovered about folates, however, particularly in relation to homeostasis, catabolism, membrane transport, and vacuolar storage. Understanding these processes, which will require both biochemical and -omics research, should lead to improved biofortification strategies based on transgenic or conventional approaches.
