Identification and characterization of five BAHD acyltransferases involved in hydroxycinnamoyl ester metabolism in chicory

Chicory (Cichorium intybus) accumulates caffeic acid esters with important significance for human health. In this study, we aim at a better understanding of the biochemical pathway of these bioactive compounds. Detailed metabolic analysis reveals that C. intybus predominantly accumulates caftaric an...
