Little is known regarding syringyl lignin biosynthesis in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare). In the present study, the role of rice caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (OsCOMT1, Q6ZD89), was examined. The recombinant OsCOMT1 catalyzed the 5-Omethylation of 5-hydroxyferulate (5-HFA) and 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde (5-HCAld). 5-HCAld inhibited 5-HFA methylation by this O-methyltransferase (OMT), while 5-HFA mitigated self-inhibition in 5-HCAld methylation. A rice plant in which OsCOMT1 expression was downregulated exhibited weakened cell wall staining with Wiesner reagent in vascular bundle cells and sclerenchyma tissue, compared with wild-type plants. The lignin content of transgenic rice plants was decreased and the syringyl lignin content reduced largely compared with that of the wild type. Taken together, these data indicated that OsCOMT1 functioned as a 5-HCAld OMT (OsCAldOMT1) in the biosynthetic pathway to syringyl lignin.
