Lignin plays an important role in plant growth and development.It serves as a raw material for the manufacture of paper,animal feed,and chemical fertilizers.However,the regulation of lignin biosynthesis genes and the ...
The cell wall in wood is mainly composed of three components: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. According to electron microscopy observations of the innermost surface of cell walls in the tracheids of Cryptomeria j...
Phenylpropanoid-derived compounds represent a diverse family of secondary metabolites that originate from phenylalanine. These compounds have roles in plant growth and development, and in defense against biotic and ab...
