COMT

COMT coding sequence

Encodes caffeic acid-O-methyl transferase (methylates -OH on C4 of the aromatic ring, converting caffeic acid to ferulic acid) from Medicago sativa (alfalfa). This gene was synthesised by Geneart.

IISER_BHOPAL 2021

Usage and Biology

It has been found that strong downregulation of COMT in transgenic alfalfa plants decrease the lignin amount and a reduction in the number of units of guaiacyl (G) lignin with a total loss of syringyl (S) units in monomeric and dimeric lignin degradation products.[1]
