Abstract excerpt
The fah1 mutant of Arabidopsis is defective in the accumulation of sinapic acid-derived metabolites, including the guaiacyl-syringyl lignin typical of angiosperms. Earlier results indicated that the FAH1 locus encodes ferulate-5-hydroxylase (F5H), a cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase (P450) of the general phenylpropanoid pathway. We have cloned the gene encoding this P450 by T-DNA tagging and have confirmed...
