2.1.1.68	evolution	transcriptome and metabolome analyses of Rauwolfia serpentina roots allow the identification of 7 candidate O-methytransferase (OMT) genes that might be associated with the formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate and 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate. RsOMT1 is a member of the caffeoyl CoA-OMT-like family of genes	757937	
2.1.1.68	evolution	transcriptome and metabolome analyses of Rauwolfia serpentina roots allow the identification of 7 candidate O-methytransferase (OMT) genes that might be associated with the formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate and 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate. RsOMT3 is a member of the caffeic acid-OMT-like family of genes	757937	
2.1.1.68	malfunction	Arabidopsis COMT1 knockout mutant line Atomt1 lignin differs from native lignin in wild type plants, in terms of sinapyl (S) alcohol-derived substructures in fiber cell walls being substituted by 5-hydroxyconiferyl alcohol (5OHG)-derived moieties	720616	
2.1.1.68	malfunction	downregulation of CCR1 and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase 1 (OMT1) using an RNA interference-mediated silencing strategy causes dramatic changes in lignin level and composition in transgenic perennial ryegrass plants grown under both glasshouse and field conditions. Both field-grown OMT1-deficient and CCR1-deficient perennial ryegrass plants show enhanced digestibility without obvious detrimental effects on either plant fitness or biomass production	720676	
2.1.1.68	malfunction	enzyme knockdown suppresses host resistance to sharp eyespot	758439	
2.1.1.68	malfunction	transformation of Arabidopsis loss-of-function Atomt1 mutant with a FGCOMT1 cDNA partially complements accumulation of sinapoyl derivatives but does not function to produce the major methylated flavonol isorhamnetin in seeds	720423	
2.1.1.68	metabolism	3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde is not the preferred substrate. The higher catalytic efficiency of the purified recombinant enzyme with the substrates caffeoyl aldehyde and 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde, and its tissue distribution, suggest this methyltransferase may primarily unction in lignin biosynthesis	718207	
2.1.1.68	metabolism	enzyme overexpression increases melatonin levels in tomato plants	757491	
2.1.1.68	metabolism	involvement of RsOMT1 and RsOMT3 in the assembly of trimethoxybenzoic and trimethoxycinnamic acids	757937	
2.1.1.68	metabolism	transgenic rice plants overexpressing the enzyme show an increase in melatonin levels	757324
