Modification of plant cell walls with hydroxycinnamic acids by BAHD acyltransferases [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 In the last decade it has become clear that enzymes in the “BAHD” family of acyl-CoA transferases play important roles in the addition of phenolic acids to form ester-linked moieties on cell wall polymers.

Overexpression of a Sugarcane BAHD Acyltransferase Alters Hydroxycinnamate Content in Maize Cell Wall [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The purification of hydroxycinnamic acids [p-coumaric acid (pCA) and ferulic acid (FA)] from grass cell walls requires high-cost processes. Feedstocks with increased levels of one hydroxycinnamate in preference to the other are therefore highly desirable.
