Down-regulation of the caffeic acid O-methyltransferase gene in switchgrass reveals a novel monolignol analog

BACKGROUND: Down-regulation of the caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase EC 2.1.1.68 (COMT) gene in the lignin biosynthetic pathway of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) resulted in cell walls of transgenic plants releasing more constituent sugars after pretreatment by dilute acid and treatment with glycos...
