Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell wall and it is a natural phenolic polymer
with high molecular weight, complex composition and structure. Lignin biosynthesis …

The phenylpropanoid pathway serves as a rich source of metabolites in plants and provides
precursors for lignin biosynthesis. Lignin first appeared in tracheophytes and has been …

At a time when environmental considerations are increasingly pushing for the application of
circular economy concepts in materials science, lignin stands out as an under-used but …

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) originated in China and is generally cultivated in arid and
barren soil. Through long-term harsh environmental selection, foxtail millet has acquired …

Fruit lignification is due to lignin deposition in the cell wall during cell development.
However, there are few studies on the regulation of cell wall lignification and lignin …

Lignin is a complex aromatic biopolymer important for providing mechanical strength to the
cell wall and resistance against both biotic and abiotic stresses. It helps in plant growth by …

Abstract R2R3-MYB transcription factors play an important role in the synthesis of
phenylpropanoid-derived compounds, which in turn provide salt tolerance in plant. In this …

Crop height not only determines plant resistance to lodging and crowding, but also affects
crop architecture, apical dominance, biomass, and mechanical harvesting. Plant height is …

The 4-coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is a key enzyme that contributes to channeling
metabolic flux in the cinnamate/monolignol pathway, leading to the production of …

Grasses are abundant feedstocks that can supply lignocellulosic biomass for production of
cell-wall-derived chemicals. In grass cell walls, lignin is acylated with p-coumarate. These p …
