“…The BAHD acyltransferase family was named according to the first letter of each of the first four biochemically characterized enzymes within this family: benzylalcohol O-acetyltransferase (BEAT), anthocyanin O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (AHCT), anthranilate N-hydroxycinnamoyl/benzoyltransferase (HCBT), and deacetylvindoline 4-O-acetyltransferase (DAT) ( D’Auria, 2006 ). Members of the BAHD family have been reported in model plants, such as Arabidopsis, Barley, Rice, and Poplar, as well as in important medicinal and economic plants, including Pear, Chinese staff vine ( Celastrus angulatus ), Jasmine, Tea, and Taxus ( Aktar et al., 2022 ; Grienenberger et al., 2009 ; Zhang and Xu, 2018 ; Liu et al., 2020 ; Yamane et al., 2020 ; Yan et al., 2020 ; Wang et al., 2021a ; Wang et al., 2021b ; Zhao et al., 2021 ; Yuan et al., 2022 ). These BAHD proteins are involved in the formation of a variety of plant-derived active acylated natural products and their precursors, such as anthocyanins, alkaloids, aromatic alcohols/amines, aliphatic alcohols/amines, terpenoids and sugar detivatives.…”
