The chilling-sensitive phenotype of the vte2 tocopherol-deficient mutant was suppressed when combined with the fad2 mutation in the vte2 fad2 double mutant, suggesting a role for tocopherols in ER-mediated conversion of dienoic to trienoic fatty acids at low temperature (8-week-old plants shown after 4 weeks at 7°C).
