enzyme down-regulation activates anthocyanin biosynthesis in Petunia. Enzyme silencing results in a reduction of eugenol production but not of isoeugenol. Down-regulation of enzyme expression leads to the coloration of Petunia tissues
the enzyme is involved in lignin biosynthesis especially in the formation of cell wall ferulic esters of plants. It plays a pivotal role in the methylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of caffeoyl CoA
CCoAOMT gene may play a role in innate generalized response to pathogen infection. CCoAOMT gene plays an essential role in the synthesis of guaiacyl lignin units and supply substrates for the synthesis of syringyl lignin units

downregulation by RNAi leads to a 22.4% decrease in Klason lignin content and a 23.3% increase in cellulose content compared with wild-type. The lignin monomer composition of the RNAi plants shows a 57.08% higher S/G ratio than wild-type plants. Histological staining of lignin with Wiesner reagent produces slightly more coloration in the xylem and sclerenchyma than in wild-type plants
the enzyme confers resistance against cadmium (Cd) in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. A significant increase in biomass production, Cd uptake and translocation occurs in enzyme-transfected Arabidopsis plants compared with wild type when grown under Cd stress
ferulate is methylated from caffeoyl-CoA using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as methyl donor catalyzed by caffeoyl CoA methyltransferase (CCoAOMT). Arabidopsis thaliana CCoAOMT7 contributes to ferulate content in the stem cell wall. CCoAOMT7 further binds to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), a critical step in SAM synthesis to release feedback suppression on CCoAOMT. CCoAOMT7 also binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthases (SAMSs) in vivo, which is mediated by SAHH1. Enzyme CCoAOMT7 is required for cell wall-bound ferulic esters
TaCCoAOMT1 is an important CCoAOMT for lignin biosynthesis that is critical for stem development, but not directly associated with lodging-resistant trait in wheat
