Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Pavir.3NG187374
  • Gene Symbol: PvSAMS1b
  • Gene Name:
  • Genome:
  • Species: Panicum virgatum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Down-regulation of PvSAMS impairs S-adenosyl-L-methionine and lignin biosynthesis, and improves cell wall digestibility in switchgrass.
  • Identified PvSAMS genes from switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), an important dual-purpose fodder and biofuel crop, and generated numerous transgenic switchgrass lines through PvSAMS RNA interference technology.
  • Down-regulation of PvSAMS reduced the contents of SAM, G-lignins, and S-lignins in the transgenic switchgrass.
  • Taken together, our results suggest that SAMS is a valuable target in lignin manipulation, and that manipulation of PvSAMS can simultaneously regulate the biosynthesis of SAM and methylated monolignols in switchgrass.
