Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Bradi3g06480
  • Gene Symbol: BdCAD1
  • Gene Name: cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brachypodium distachyon

Functional Descriptions:

  • Disrupting the cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 1 gene (BdCAD1) leads to altered lignification and improved saccharification in Brachypodium distachyon.
  • Functional complementation of the Bd4179 mutant with the wild-type BdCAD1 allele restored the wild-type phenotype and lignification.
  • Here, we have demonstrated that BdCAD1 is involved in lignification of Brachypodium.
  • We have shown that a single nucleotide change in BdCAD1 reduces the lignin level and increases the degree of branching of lignins through incorporation of sinapaldehyde.
