Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: MeCAD15
- Gene Name: cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 15
- Genome: cassava database of Phytozome v10.3
- Species: Manihot esculenta
Functional Descriptions:
- MeRAV5 promoted the activities of both MePOD and MeCAD15 to affect H2O2 and endogenous lignin accumulation respectively, which are important in drought stress resistance in cassava.
- When either MeCAD15 or MeRAV5 was silenced, or both were co-silenced, cassava showed lower lignin content and drought-sensitive phenotype, whereas exogenous lignin alkali treatment increased drought stress resistance and alleviated the drought-sensitive phenotype of these silenced cassava plants.
- MeRAV5 physically interacted with peroxidase (MePOD) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 15 (MeCAD15), to enhance their activities, and with H2O2 and lignin, which are involved in drought stress resistance in cassava.
