Abstract excerpt

The maize (Zea mays L.) caffeic acid O-methyl-transferase (COMT) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of lignin. In this work we have characterized the involvement of COMT in the lignification process through the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in its regulation. The examination of the maize COMT gene promoter revealed a putative ACIII box, typically recognized by R2R3-MYB transcription factors. We used...
