The production of natural aroma compounds is an expanding field within the branch of white biotechnology. Three aromatic compounds of interest are cinnamaldehyde, the typical cinnamon aroma that has applications in agriculture and medical sciences, as well as cinnamyl alcohol and hydrocinnamyl
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), including six-carbon (C6) aldehydes, alcohols, and esters, are formed when plant tissues are damaged. GLVs play roles in direct plant defense at wound sites, indirect plant defense via the attraction of herbivore predators, and plant-plant communication. GLV components
The cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (AtCAD) multigene family in Arabidopsis is composed of nine genes. Our previous studies focused on the two isoforms AtCAD C and AtCAD D which show a high homology to those related to lignification in other plants. This study focuses on the seven other Arabidopsis
Cinnamoyl coenzyme A reductase (CCR, EC 1.2.1.44), one of the key enzymes in the biosynthesis of lignin monomers, catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of cinnamoyl-CoA esters to their corresponding cinnamaldehydes. AtCCR1, one of the two distinct isoforms isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana, was
Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR; EC 1.2.1.44) catalyses the conversion of cinnamoyl-CoAs into their corresponding cinnamaldehydes, i.e. the first step of the phenylpropanoid pathway specifically dedicated to the monolignol biosynthetic branch. In previous work, we described the isolation and
