Functional characterization of caffeic acid O-methyltransferase in internode lignification of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)

Caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a crucial enzyme that mainly methylates phenylpropanoid meta-hydroxyl of C<sub>5</sub> in the biosynthesis of syringyl lignin in angiosperms. A putative COMT, named as PvCOMT1, was isolated from switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a C<sub>4<...
