Storage domains of coniferin in cell wall forming tracheid cells in Pinus thunbergii stems evaluated by cryo microscopic chemical analyses [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe investigated how lignin precursors are stored and used during secondary-wall formation in Pinus thunbergii stems, addressing the current lack of quantitative, spatially resolved information, especially on monolignols and their glucosides.

Effect of phenolic anchor groups on enzymatic polymerization of coniferyl alcohol at cellulosic interfaces [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe chemical recalcitrance of lignin limits the industrial processing of biomass, which could be addressed by so-called designer lignins. Dehydrogenation polymers (DHPs) formed by artificial lignification of monolignols, enable studies on structure ...

Lignin p-Hydroxybenzoylation Is Negatively Correlated With Syringyl Units in Poplar
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The lignin found in the cell walls of poplar fibres is decorated with ester-linked p-hydroxybenzoate moieties that originate from the participation of acylated monolignols in lignin polymerisation.

UGT72, a Major Glycosyltransferase Family for Flavonoid and Monolignol Homeostasis in Plants
Biology, 2022 Plants have developed the capacity to produce a diversified range of specialized metabolites. The glycosylation of those metabolites potentially decreases their toxicity while increasing their stability and their solubility, modifying their transport and
