Genome-Wide Analysis of the Caffeoyl Coenzyme A-O-Methyltransferase (<i>CCoAOMT</i>) Gene Family in <i>Platycodon grandiflorus</i> (Jacq.) A. DC. and the Potential Regulatory Mechanism in Response to Copper Stress.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, copper pollution has gradually become one of the major problems of soil environmental pollution. Lignin plays an important role in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. CCoAOMT is a key enzyme in the lignin biosynthesis process. In this study, the CCoAOMT gene family members of Platycodon grandiflorus were identified by bioinformatics methods, and their basic characteristics and potential functions were analyzed. The results showed that five members of the PgCCoAOMT gene family were identified in P. grandiflorus, with protein lengths ranging from 246 to 635 amino acids, and were evenly distributed on four chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the PgCCoAOMT gene family was divided into two subclades, namely Clade1a,
