Systematic Analysis of Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase Family in Cassava and Validation of <i>MeCAD13</i> and <i>MeCAD28</i> in Lignin Synthesis and Postharvest Physiological Deterioration.

ABSTRACT: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is used as a biomass energy material and an effective supplement for food and feed. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) catalyzes the final step of lignin biosynthesis and is responsible for various stresses. However, systematic investigations of the CAD gene family in cassava have been poorly understood. In this study, a genome-wide survey and bioinformatics analysis of CAD gene family was performed, transcriptomics, qRT-PCR, gene silencing and stress of yeast cell were used for excavate and validate the candidate MeCADs gene. 36 MeCADs genes unevenly distributed across 12 chromosomes were identified. Through phylogenetic analyses alongside their Arabidopsis counterparts, these MeCADs were divided into four grou
