<i>CAD</i> Genes: Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Their Contribution to Lignin Biosynthesis in Pear (<i>Pyrus bretschneideri</i>)

The synthetic enzyme cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) is involved in responses to various stresses during plant growth. It regulates the monolignol biosynthesis and catalyzes hydroxyl cinnamaldehyde reduction to the corresponding alcohols. Although the CAD gene families have been explored in som...
