Abstract
The present invention provides an expression cassette containing a polynucleotide coding sequence for a hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA hydratase-lyase (HCHL), which is operably linked to a heterologous promoter. Also provided are methods of engineering plants that have reduced lignification, as well as cells, plant parts, and plant tissues from such engineered plants.
