Article Synopsis
- Jute is a vital crop for fiber production, and the CCoAOMT enzyme plays a key role in lignin biosynthesis, yet little is known about the evolution and expression of its gene family in jute under various conditions.
- The research identified 66 CCoAOMT genes across 12 species, with significant growth in C. olitorius, and found varying expression levels of two dominant genes, CCoAOMT1 and CCoAOMT2, during different stages of jute development.
- Results indicated that CCoAOMT expression increases significantly in response to drought stress, suggesting a link between these genes and lignin content in jute, which could help optimize fiber production.
