Expression of a bacterial 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase reduces lignin content and improves biomass saccharification efficiency. [PDF]
Lignin confers recalcitrance to plant biomass used as feedstocks in agro-processing industries or as source of renewable sugars for the production of bioproducts. The metabolic steps for the synthesis of lignin building blocks belong to the shikimate and

Mass spectrometry-based fragmentation as an identification tool in lignomics [PDF]
The ensemble of all phenolics for which the biosynthesis is coregulated with lignin biosynthesis, i.e., metabolites from the general phenylpropanoid, monolignol, and (neo)-lignan biosynthetic pathways and their derivatives, as well as the lignin ...

Reducing the Sinapine Levels of Camelina sativa Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of REF1
ABSTRACT Sinapine (O‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus. It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbivores, but it also renders them less palatable to livestock.

Pyrolysis Study of Cinnamaldehyde Model Compound with Analytical Py-gc×gc-fid/tof-ms
Aldehyde-type lignin monomers like hydroxycinnamaldehydes are important monomers in plants downregulating the enzyme activity of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase or catechol-O-methyltranferase. Cinnamaldehyde (CA) is the simplest aldehyde-type lignin model

Waterproofing in Arabidopsis: Following Phenolics and Lipids In situ by Confocal Raman Microscopy [PDF]
Waterproofing of the aerial organs of plants imposed a big evolutionary step during the colonization of the terrestrial environment. The main plant polymers responsible of water repelling are lipids and lignin, which play also important roles in the ...

Controlling the polymerization of coniferyl alcohol with cyclodextrins [PDF]
The system made of a laccase and βCD allows a selective enrichment of pinoresinol amongst the three dimeric lignans and neo-lignans products generated from the mono-electronic oxidation of coniferyl alcohol.

Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of agricultural production, biomass generation, and its transformation into biochar, with a particular emphasis on green coconut waste as a primary resource. It underscores the link between agriculture and substantial biomass output, shedding light on the ecological issues associated with solid

Ab Initio Screening Approach for the Discovery of Lignin Polymer Breaking Pathways [PDF]
The directed depolymerization of lignin biopolymers is of utmost relevance for the valorization or commercialization of biomass fuels. We present a computational and theoretical screening approach to identify potential cleavage pathways and resulting ...

Ozonolysis of Lignin: From Extensive Degradation to Selective Ring‐Opening Oxidation
Despite its potential as a renewable feedstock, lignin, a major component of plant cell walls and a by‐product of the pulp and paper industry, has long been underutilized. Historically, pulp mills employed ozonolysis, a powerful oxidative process, to delignify cellulosic fibers and break down lignin.
