Genome-wide analysis of the COMT gene family in Avena sativa: insights into lignin biosynthesis and disease defense mechanisms

Caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a multifunctional enzyme involved in lignin biosynthesis and plays an important role in various primary and secondary metabolic pathways, including the plant stress response. In this study, we identified 37 AsCOMT genes from the oat (Avena sativa) whole-gen...
