Molecular and Comparative Phylogenetic Analysis of the Polyphenol Oxidase Gene Family in Poplar (Populus spp.)
Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) are ubiquitous enzymes that oxidize phenols to quinones in the presence of molecular oxygen, often leading to tissue discolouration. They are sometimes considered as defense proteins but other functions, for example in phenolic compound biosynthesis, have also been found....
