4-Coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL) catalyzes the conversion of hydroxycinnamates into corresponding CoA esters for biosynthesis of flavonoids and lignin. It has been widely studied in seed plants; however, it is poorly characterized in ferns. In this study, we identified 4CLs genes in ferns D. fra...
