<i>PpCAD2</i> was originally isolated from the 'Wangkumbae' pear (<i>Pyrus pyrifolia</i> Nakai), and it encodes for cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), which is a key enzyme in the lignin biosynthesis pathway. In order to verify the function of <i>PpCAD2</i>, transgenic tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) 'Micro-Tom' plants were generated using over-expression constructs via the agrobacterium-mediated transformation method. The results showed that the <i>PpCAD2</i> over-expression transgenic ...[more]
