Probably involved in the formation of benzylbenzoate, a minor constituent of the floral aroma. benzoyl-CoA + benzyl alcohol = benzyl benzoate + CoA Inhibited by magnesium, calcium, cobalt, zinc and copper.

Highly expressed in the stigma of unopened flowers, peaks on day 1 postanthesis and drops rapidly on day 2 postanthesis when the stigma becomes receptive (at protein level). Up-regulated by wounding.
