Phenylpropanoids, the largest class of natural products including flavonoids, anthocyanins,
monolignols and tannins perform multiple functions ranging from photosynthesis, nutrient …

Pathogens hitting the plant cell wall is the first impetus that triggers the phenylpropanoid
pathway for plant defense. The phenylpropanoid pathway bifurcates into the production of …

Phenylpropanoid-derived compounds represent a diverse family of secondary metabolites
that originate from phenylalanine. These compounds have roles in plant growth and …

The secondary wall is the main part of wood and is composed of cellulose, xylan, lignin, and
small amounts of structural proteins and enzymes. Lignin molecules can interact directly or …

MYB transcription factors (TFs), as one of the largest gene families in plants, play important
roles in multiple biological processes, such as plant growth and development, cell …

Wood is a renewable resource that is mainly composed of lignin and cell wall
polysaccharides. The polysaccharide fraction is valuable as it can be converted into pulp …

Plant cell walls provide structural support for growth and serve as a barrier for pathogen
attack. Plant cell walls are also a source of renewable biomass for conversion to biofuels …

Wood remains the world's most abundant and renewable resource for timber and pulp and
is an alternative to fossil fuels. Understanding the molecular regulation of wood formation …

Wood formation is controlled by transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) involving
regulatory homeostasis determined by combinations of transcription factor (TF)–DNA and TF …

Main conclusion Medicinal and aromatic plants are known to produce secondary
metabolites that find uses as flavoring agents, fragrances, insecticides, dyes and drugs …
