Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of the 4-Coumarate: CoA Ligase (4CL) Gene Family in Miscanthus lutarioriparius: Transcriptional Response to Cadmium Stress

Miscanthus lutarioriparius exhibits strong potential for cadmium (Cd) accumulation, making it a promising candidate for the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soils. However, its full remediation potential remains underexploited, highlighting the need for targeted genetic improvement This study presents a comprehensive genome-wide identification and systematic characterization of 20 Ml4CL (4-coumarate: CoA ligase genes) in the M. lutarioriparius. Results indicate that the Ml4CL gene family has
