木质素单体合成的过程中涉及了许多酶的参与,而肉桂酰辅酶A还原酶(cinnamoyl-CoA reductase,CCR)是该过程中的一个关键酶。综述了CCR基因在植物体内的克隆、基因功能及在植物组织中的表达情况,并介绍了该基因在植物的抗病虫害和抗逆性研究、饲草和能源上的应用潜力,为进一步研究CCR基因生物学功能和利用奠定了基础。
Many enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin monomer in plant.Cinnamoyl coenzyme reductase (cinnamoyl-CoA reductase, CCR) is a key enzyme of the process. The progress of CCR gene cloning, function and expression in plants were summarized. Additionally, the potential of this gene in plant' s resistance to pests and stress, forage and energy usage were also described. It provided the foundation for further research and usage of this gene.
