| 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 at the base of the stems. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16832689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17467016}. |
