Profiling of oligolignols reveals monolignol coupling conditions in lignifying poplar xylem [PDF]
, 2004 Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer, abundantly present in the walls of secondary thickened cells. Although much research has been devoted to the structure and composition of the polymer to obtain insight into lignin polymerization, the low-molecular ...

Silybum marianum in vitro-flavonolignan production
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2006 The effect of coniferyl alcohol as a precursor of flavonolignan biosynthesis on silymarin components production in Silybum marianum suspension culture was studied. Coniferyl alcohol showed the changes in silymarin complex production.

A numerical model for the fractional condensation of pyrolysis vapours [PDF]
, 2015 Experimentation on the fast pyrolysis process has been primarily focused on the pyrolysis reactor itself, with less emphasis given to the liquid collection system (LCS). More importantly, the physics behind the vapour condensation process in LCSs has not

Taming the radical cation intermediate enabled one-step access to structurally diverse lignans
Nature Communications, 2022 Lignans, in spite of their structural diversity, are all biosynthetically derived from coniferyl alcohol. Here, the authors describe a divergent and stereoselective chemical synthesis of three types of lignans from biomass-derived monolignols, exploiting

Chemical genetics uncovers novel inhibitors of lignification, including p-iodobenzoic acid targeting CINNAMATE-4-HYDROXYLASE [PDF]
, 2016 Plant secondary-thickened cell walls are characterized by the presence of lignin, a recalcitrant and hydrophobic polymer that provides mechanical strength and ensures long-distance water transport.

Electropolymerization of coniferyl alcohol
Journal of Wood Science, 2009 Electropolymerization of coniferyl alcohol was carried out in an aqueous system (0.2 M NaOH) and in an organic solvent system [CH2Cl2/methanol (4:1 v/v) in the presence of 0.2 M LiClO4] to produce a dehydrogenation polymer (DHP) - artificial lignin. In both systems, the polymerization of coniferyl alcohol was visually confi rmed. In the aqueous system,
