Functional characterization of COMT genes in Chinese white pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) and their role in lignin synthesis

BackgroundCaffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent O-methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of caffeic acid to form ferulic acid, a critical step in lignin biosynthesis. Lignin is essential for the development of stone cells in pear fruit, impar...
