Application

Application Comment Organism
biofuel production downregulation of (hydroxy)cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) genes is another promising strategy to increase cell wall digestibility for biofuel production Arabidopsis thaliana

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information construction of disruption mutants of genes CADC and CADD of Arabidopsis thaliana resulting in the atypical incorporation of hydroxycinnamaldehydes into lignin. The cadc/cadd-deficient and ferulic acid hydroxylase1 (fah1) cadc/cadd-deficient plants are similar in growth to wild-type plants even though their lignin compositions are drastically altered. In contrast, disruption of CAD in the F5H-overexpressing background results in dwarfism. The dwarfed phenotype observed in these plants does not appear to be related to collapsed xylem, a hallmark of many other lignin-deficient dwarf mutants. Mutant cadc/cadd-deficient and fah1 cadc/cadd-deficient, and cadd-deficient-F5H-overexpressing plants have increased enzyme-catalyzed cell wall digestibility.

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction disruption of the genes encoding both cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CADs), including CADC and CADD, in Arabidopsis thaliana results in the atypical incorporation of hydroxycinnamaldehydes into lignin. The cadc/cadd-deficient and ferulic acid hydroxylase1 (fah1) cadc/cadd-deficient plants are similar in growth to wild-type plants even though their lignin compositions are drastically altered. In contrast, disruption of CAD in the F5H-overexpressing background results in dwarfism. The dwarfed phenotype observed in these plants does not appear to be related to collapsed xylem, a hallmark of many other lignin-deficient dwarf mutants. Mutant cadc/cadd-deficient and fah1 cadc/cadd-deficient, and cadd-deficient-F5H-overexpressing plants have increased enzyme-catalyzed cell wall digestibility Arabidopsis thaliana
physiological function hydroxycinnamaldehyde content is a more important determinant of digestibility than lignin content Arabidopsis thaliana
