The lignin biosynthetic pathway has been studied for more than a century but has
undergone major revisions over the past decade. Significant progress has been made in …

Lignin is a major component of wood, the most widely used raw material for the production
of pulp and paper. Although the biochemistry and molecular biology underpinning lignin …

Lignin, one of the most abundant terrestrial biopolymers, is indispensable for plant structure
and defense. With the availability of the full genome sequence, large collections of insertion …

Lignin quantity and reactivity [which is associated with its syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) constituent
ratio] are two major barriers to wood-pulp production. To verify our contention that these …

The gene encoding ferulate 5-hydroxylase (F5H) was overexpressed in poplar (Populus
tremula× Populus alba) using the cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H) promoter to drive …

The vascular component of trees possesses some of the most specialized processes active
in the formation of roots, stems, and branches, and its wood component continues to be of …

Hydroxycinnamates are ubiquitous in the environment because of their contributions to the
structure and defense mechanisms of plants. Additional plant products, many of which are …
