ABSTRACT Perennial crops are continually wounded throughout cultivation. To limit pathogen infection and tissue dehydration, plants have evolved a range of wound responses that protect damaged tissues. These responses include changes in gene expression and the synthesis of protective compounds such as polyphenols.

Good neighbours : the role of non-lignified cells in Arabidopsis lignification
Lignin is a critical structural component of plants, providing vascular integrity and mechanical strength. Lignin precursors, monolignols, must be exported to the extracellular matrix where random oxidative coupling produces a complex lignin polymer. The

The tomato cytosolic fructokinase FRK1 is important for phloem fiber development
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants have four fructokinase genes, SlFRK1-4. The SlFRK4 is expressed only in pollen whereas the other three are expressed in all plant parts.

ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) are phenylpropanoid‐derived metabolites traditionally associated with antimicrobial defence and cell wall reinforcement during plant–pathogen interactions. However, their contribution to plant responses to mechanical injury, particularly in wound healing and damage‐induced signalling, remains poorly ...

Lignin studies of transgenic Norway spruce [PDF]
An attractive objective in tree breeding is to reduce the content of lignin, or increase its extractability, to favor delignification during pulping. This study investigates the potential for lignin alterations in Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst ...

Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

The seasonal variation in inner bark width differed from that of xylem growth, indicating that xylem phenology cannot be reliably assessed without cellular observations. Abstract To better interpret continuous xylem growth measurements from dendrometers, we evaluated how the widths of developing xylem and phloem, along with seasonal trends in inner ...

Peroxidase activity and lignification in the pod membranes of Pisum sativum L
An investigation of four mutant lines of peas showed an inverse relationship between peroxidase activity and lignification of the pod membrane.

Visualization of plant cell wall lignification using fluorescence-tagged monolignols
Lignin is an abundant phenylpropanoid polymer produced by the oxidative polymerization of p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols (monolignols). Lignification, i.e., deposition of lignin, is a defining feature of secondary cell wall formation in vascular plants, and ...
