Genome-wide identification and expression pattern analysis of the cinnamoyl-CoA reductase gene family in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)
This study systematically analyzes the CCR gene family (CCRGF) of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) at the genomic level for the first time, so as to select the whole members of the CCRGF of flax and to ascertain their potential roles in lignin synthesis. Therefore, in future work, we can target genetic modification of LuCCR13/20 to optimize the content of flax lignin. As such, this research establishes a theoretical foundation for studying LuCCR gene functions and offers a new perspective for cultivating low-lignin flax varieties.
