Abstract
Novel plant monolignol synthesis, monolignol transport, and lignin polymerization genes and polypeptides encoded by such genes are provided. These genes and polynucleotide sequences are useful regulating the lignification process and plant phenotype. Moreover, these genes are useful for expression profiling of plant monolignol synthesis, monolignol transport, and lignin polymerization genes. The invention specifically provides polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences isolated from Eucalyptus and Pinus.
