Used in plant biology research to quantify cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) enzyme levels in plant tissues. This kit helps study lignin biosynthesis pathways, which are critical for understanding cell wall development in plants. It is widely applied in research on plant resistance to pests and environmental stress, as CAD activity is linked to the production of lignin and other phenolic compounds. The assay supports investigations in crop improvement, bioenergy feedstock development, and plant defense mechanisms by providing a reliable method to measure CAD expression under various genetic or environmental conditions.
