Description
While the enzyme from the plant Zea mays is specific for benzoate, the enzymes from Arabidopsis species and Clarkia breweri also catalyse the reaction of EC 2.1.1.274, salicylate 1-O-methyltransferase. In snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) two isoforms are found, one specific for benzoate and one that is also active towards salicylate. The volatile product is an important scent compound in some flowering species.
