| Function | O-methyltransferase involved in the benzoxazinoid glucoside biosynthesis. Can use 2,4,7-trihydroxy-2H-1,4- benzoxazin-3(4H)-one 2-D-glucoside (TRIBOA-glucoside) as substrate, but not aglucone TRIBOA, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, apigenin or quercetin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18192444}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in seedlings and newly formed crown roots. Highest expression in the scutellar node. Low to non detectable levels in cob, tassel and mature organs like husk or leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18192444}. |
