Down-regulation of hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase in transgenic alfalfa affects lignification, development and forage quality.

Phytochemistry - 1 Jun 2007

Abstract excerpt

The recently discovered enzyme hydroxycinnamoyl CoA: shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT) catalyzes the reactions both immediately preceding and following the insertion of the 3-hydroxyl group into monolignol precursors. A number of independent transgenic lines of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) were generated in which the levels of HCT were reduced through antisense HCT expression under control of the bean...
