General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | isoform CAD2 downregulation improves saccharification efficiency. CAD2 enzyme-deficient mutants accumulate feruloyl and sinapoyl hexose conjugates. The total amount of lignin is reduced in the mutants, and only minor amounts of hydroxycinnamaldehydes are incorporated. Oligolignols composed of coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols are reduced, whereas those with one sinapaldehyde unit are increased in abundance in cad2 mutants | Zea mays |
physiological function | the enzyme is involved in lignification | Zea mays |
