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

Biorenewable polymers have emerged as an attractive alternative to conventional metallic
and organic materials for a variety of different applications. This is mainly because of their …

Abstract Background Secondary cell walls (SCWs) form the architecture of terrestrial plant
biomass. They reinforce tracheary elements and strengthen fibres to permit upright growth …

The accumulation and distribution of microplastics (MPs) in agricultural soils, including rice
fields, is well studied. However, only a few studies have investigated the uptake of MPs by …

Increasing soil salinization largely impacts crop yield worldwide. To deal with salinity stress,
plants exhibit an array of responses, including root system architecture remodelling. Here …

Lignin is a phenylpropanoid-derived polymer that functions as a major component of cell
walls in plant vascular tissues. Biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acid Phe provides …

Sorption‐based atmospheric water harvesting is an attractive technology for exploiting
unconventional water sources. A critical challenge is how to facilitate fast and continuous …

All plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall that determines the directionality of cell growth
and protects the cell against its environment. Plant cell walls are comprised primarily of …

Lignin is a complex polymer that is embedded in plant cell walls to provide physical support
and water protection. For these reasons, the production of lignin is closely linked with plant …

Glycosylation by uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in plants
contributes to the complexity and diversity of secondary metabolites. UGTs are generally …
