Abstract
The invention relates to nucleic acids encoding a feruloyl-CoA:monolignol transferase and the feruloyl-CoA:monolignol transferase enzyme that enables incorporation of monolignol ferulates, for example, including p-coumaryl ferulate, coniferyl ferulate, and sinapyl ferulate, into the lignin of plants.
Claims65
An isolated nucleic acid encoding a feruloyl-CoA:monolignol transferase wherein the nucleic acid can selectively hybridize to a DNA with a SEQ ID NO:1 sequence or the nucleic acid has at least about 90% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:1.
