The final step of lignin biosynthesis is the polymerization of monolignols in apoplastic cell
wall domains. In this process, monolignols secreted by lignifying cells, or occasionally …

Background Lignin is a polyphenolic polymer that strengthens and waterproofs the cell wall
of specialized plant cell types. Lignification is part of the normal differentiation programme …

The plant cell wall is a dynamic and complex structure whose functional integrity is
constantly being monitored and maintained during development and interactions with the …

Abstract Class III peroxidases (CIII Prxs) are plant specific proteins. Based on in silico
prediction and experimental evidence, they are mainly considered as cell wall localized …

Plants are built of various specialized cell types that differ in their cell wall composition and
structure. The cell walls of certain tissues (xylem, sclerenchyma) are characterized by the …

At a time when environmental considerations are increasingly pushing for the application of
circular economy concepts in materials science, lignin stands out as an under-used but …

Reactive oxygen species are produced in response to pathogens and pathogen-associated
molecular patterns, as exemplified by the rapid extracellular oxidative burst dependent on …

Verticillium longisporum (VL) is one of the most devastating diseases in important oil crops
from the family of Brassicaceae. The fungus resides for much time of its life cycle in the …

The drive for a circular bioeconomy has resulted in a great demand for renewable, biobased
chemicals. We present a one-pot biocatalytic cascade reaction for the production of racemic …

Lignin is an abundant phenylpropanoid polymer produced by the oxidative polymerization of
p‐hydroxycinnamyl alcohols (monolignols). Lignification, ie, deposition of lignin, is a …
