Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • A multifunctional true caffeoyl coenzyme A O-methyltransferase (CsCCoAOMT1) enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of polymethoxylated flavones in citrus.
  • Characterized a true caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase (named CsCCoAOMT1) from C. sinensis. Functional analysis in vitro showed that CsCCoAOMT1 preferred flavonoids to caffeoyl-CoA and esculetin.
  • The transient overexpression and virus-induced gene silencing experiments verified that CsCCoAOMT1 could promote the accumulation of PMFs in citrus.
  • These results reveal the function of true CCoAOMTs and indicate that CsCCoAOMT1 is a highly efficient multifunctional O-methyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of PMFs in citrus.
