Analysis of gene mutation in plant cell wall by dielectric relaxation [PDF]
, 2012 Arabidopsis Thaliana is a plant composed mainly of cellulose and lignin. Geneticists need techniques able to make differences at the molecular level between modified plants (DML6, CAD C/D) and non-modified ones.

Role of lignification in plant defense [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 For a long time it has been believed that lignification has an important role in host defense against pathogen invasion. Recently, by using an RNAi gene-silencing assay we showed that monolignol biosynthesis plays a critical role in cell wall apposition (CWA)-mediated defense against powdery mildew fungus penetration into diploid wheat.

Hydrogen peroxide and lignification [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 1993 The production of hydrogen peroxide in plant tissue is demonstrated quickly with a simple histochemical test. The test solution, 50 mM potassium iodide in a 4% (w/v) potato starch suspension, is applied to the cut surface of the tissue to be tested. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes iodide ions to iodine; the iodine is complexed by the starch to form a blue ...

Atypical lignification in eastern leatherwood (Dirca palustris) [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Lignin is a complex phenolic biopolymer found mainly in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants, where it contributes to mechanical strength, water conduction, and plant defence. We studied the lignin of eastern leatherwood (Dirca palustris) because this slow‐growing woody shrub is known for its flexible stems.

MANAGEMENT OF MAIZE STOVER WITH UNDERDOSES RATES OF GLYPHOSATE APPLICATIONS IN NO-TILLAGE [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2015 Glyphosate has significant effects on the growth and development of plants when in underdoses. This work was developed to verify the effect of the application of glyphosate in underdoses in lignin synthesis and consequently decomposition of maize stover.

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 ...

Relationship Analysis Between Leaf-Stomata Characteristics with Cocoa Resistance to Vascular-Streak Dieback [PDF]
, 2016 Characteristics of leaf-stomata indicate having relationship with the resistance of cocoa to vascular-streak dieback (VSD) caused by Ceratobasidum theobromae. This research has objective to identify the relationship between leaf-stomata
