Differential expression of two O-methyltransferases in lignin biosynthesis in Zinnia elegans.
Caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (CAOMT) and caffeoyl-coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) are involved in different methylation pathways in lignin biosynthesis. We previously showed that only the CCoAOMT was markedly induced during lignification in in vitro differentiating tracheary elements (TEs) of Zinnia elegans. To further examine the expression patterns of CAOMT in lignification, ...
متن کاملThe role of xylem class III peroxidases in lignification.
Lignification is a cell wall fortifying process which occurs in xylem tissue in a scheduled manner during tissue differentiation. In this review, enzymes and the genes responsible for lignin biosynthesis have been studied with an emphasis on lignin polymerizing class III secretable plant peroxidases. Our aim is to understand the cell and molecular biology of the polymerization of lignin especia...
متن کاملAn alternative methylation pathway in lignin biosynthesis in Zinnia.
S-Adenosyl-L-methionine:trans-caffeoyl-coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) is implicated in disease resistant response, but whether it is involved in lignin biosynthesis is not known. We isolated a cDNA clone for CCoAOMT in differentiating tracheary elements (TEs) induced from Zinnia-isolated mesophyll cells. RNA gel blot analysis showed that the expression of the CCoAOMT gene was marked...
متن کاملAssociation of Caffeoyl Coenzyme Expression with Lignifying Tissues
Caffeoyl coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) was previously shown to be associated with lignification in both in vitro tracheary elements (TEs) and organs of zinnia (Zinnia elegans). However, it i s not known whether this i s a general pattern in dicot plants. To address this question, polyclonal antibodies against zinnia recombinant CCoAOMT fusion protein were raised and used for immuno...
متن کاملNon-cell-autonomous postmortem lignification of tracheary elements in Zinnia elegans.
Postmortem lignification of xylem tracheary elements (TEs) has been debated for decades. Here, we provide evidence in Zinnia elegans TE cell cultures, using pharmacological inhibitors and in intact Z. elegans plants using Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, that TE lignification occurs postmortem (i.e., after TE programmed cell death). In situ RT-PCR verified expression of the lignin ...
