Phenylpropanoid metabolism is one of the most important metabolisms in plants, yielding
more than 8,000 metabolites contributing to plant development and plant–environment …

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer with a high carbon content and high aromaticity. Despite
its potential as a raw material for the fuel and chemical industries, lignin remains the most …

The phenylpropanoid pathway serves as a rich source of metabolites in plants, being
required for the biosynthesis of lignin, and serving as a starting point for the production of …

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, a phenolic polymer derived mainly from hydroxycinnamyl alcohols, is ubiquitously
present in tracheophytes. The development of lignin biosynthesis has been considered to be …

The processes underlying lignification, which for many years have been the near-exclusive
purview of chemists and biochemists, have more recently been approached using both …

Lignin, a phenolic polymer in the secondary wall, is the major cause of lignocellulosic
biomass recalcitrance to efficient industrial processing. From an applications perspective, it …

Phenolic compounds are ubiquitous in plants which collectively synthesize several
thousand different chemical structures characterized by hydroxylated aromatic ring (s) …

There are 244 cytochrome P450 genes (and 28 pseudogenes) in the Arabidopsis genome.
P450s thus form one of the largest gene families in plants. Contrary to what was initially …

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 …
