Genome-wide analysis of the Catalpa bungei caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene family: identification and expression profiles in normal, tension, and opposite wood

Caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an important protein that participates in lignin synthesis and is associated with the ratio of G-/S-type lignin in plants. COMTs are associated with the wood properties of forest trees; however, little known about the COMT family in Catalpa bungei, a valuab...
