Coordinated transcriptional regulation of two key genes in the lignin branch pathway - <it>CAD </it>and <it>CCR </it>- is mediated through MYB- binding sites
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) catalyze the final steps in the biosynthesis of monolignols, the monomeric units of the phenolic lignin polymers which confer rigidity, imperviousness and resista...
