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 …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a special crop plant that underwent anthropogenic evolution
from a wild grass species to an important food, fodder, and energy crop. Unlike any other …

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 …

The intricate architecture of cell walls and the complex cross‐linking of their components
hinders some industrial and agricultural applications of plant biomass. Xylan is a key …

The BAHD acyltransferase family is a class of proteins in plants that can acylate a variety of
primary and specialized secondary metabolites. The typically acylated products have greatly …

A key aspect of plant growth is the synthesis and deposition of cell walls. In specific tissues
