Abstract
⺠Ortho-hydroxylation of cinnamates is a key step in coumarin formation. ⺠The Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenases as the ortho-hydroxylases of sweet potato were cloned. ⺠The corresponding recombinant enzymes catalyze ortho-hydroxylation toward p-coumaroyl-CoA and/or feruloyl-CoA. ⺠Expression of these genes and increased levels of coumarins in sweet potato were induced concomitantly.
