| Function | Involved in lignin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the final step specific for the production of lignin monomers. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of coniferaldehyde, 5- hydroxyconiferaldehyde, sinapaldehyde, 4-coumaraldehyde and caffeyl aldehyde to their respective alcohols. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14745009}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the root tips. Expressed in the apical meristematic regions, leaf veins and at the base of the trichomes. Expressed at the base of the stems. Expressed in the abscission zones of newly formed siliques. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16832689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17467016}. |
