A hydroxycinnamoyltransferase responsible for synthesizing suberin aromatics in Arabidopsis.

Abstract excerpt

Suberin, a polyester polymer in the cell wall of terrestrial plants, controls the transport of water and nutrients and protects plant from pathogenic infections and environmental stresses. Structurally, suberin consists of aliphatic and aromatic domains; p-hydroxycinnamates, such as ferulate, p-coumarate, and/or sinapate, are the major phenolic constituents of the latter. By analyzing the "wall-bound" phenolics...
