<i>Selaginella</i> is an extant lycopodiophyte genus, which is representative of an ancient lineage of tracheophytes. The important evolutionary status makes it a valuable resource for the study of metabolic evolution in vascular plants. 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) is the pivotal enzyme that controls the flow of carbon through the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway into the specific lignin, flavonoid, and wall-bound phenolics biosynthesis pathways. Although 4CLs have been extensively characteri ...[more]
