Function
Lignin degradation and detoxification of lignin-derived products (By similarity). Involved in lignin synthesis in seed coats, in seed coat permeability, in seed germination, and in root elongation. Required for the seed coat (testa) brown pigmentation by mediating the polymerization of proanthocyanidin (tannin) from its monomer precursor epicatechin. Slightly promotes seed dormancy.
