  1. Ordinary cultivars (Williams 82, Ichihime, and Toyokomachi) and high α-tocopherol cultivars (KAS, Dobrogeance, Dobrudza 14 Pancevo) were used for analysis. Polymorphisms in exons are depicted by *1, *2, *3, *4 (see Figure.4B). α-Tocopherol concentration data are represented as mean ± SD of the values obtained from triplicate experiments. All plants were grown in Hokkaido University experimental farm.
