Wood is an abundant and renewable feedstock for the production of pulp, fuels, and
biobased materials. However, wood is recalcitrant toward deconstruction into cellulose and …

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 …

Ester‐linked p‐coumarate (p CA) is a hallmark feature of the secondary cell walls in
commelinid monocot plants. It has been shown that p CA groups arise during lignin …

As ever more component monomers are discovered, lignin can no longer be regarded as
deriving from just the three canonical monolignols. Pathway intermediates such as the …

Lignin is one of the main factors causing lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance to enzymatic
hydrolysis. Glasshouse‐grown poplars severely downregulated for CINNAMYL ALCOHOL …

Lignin is largely produced by the oxidative radical coupling of the three monolignols, p-
coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols, which form the p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and …

The phenylpropanoid metabolism is the source of a vast array of specialized metabolites
that play diverse functions in plant growth and development and contribute to all aspects of …

Lignin is an abundant polymer in plant secondary cell walls. Prototypical lignins derive from
the polymerization of monolignols (hydroxycinnamyl alcohols), mainly coniferyl and sinapyl …

Economic valorization of lignocellulose is paramount to realizing a true circular bioeconomy;
however, this requires the development of systems and processes to expand the repertoire …

Forests make immense contributions to societies in the form of ecological services and
sustainable industrial products. However, they face major challenges to their viability and …
