A metabolomics characterisation of natural variation in the resistance of cassava to whitefly [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Cassava whitefly outbreaks were initially reported in East and Central Africa cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) growing regions in the 1990's and have now spread to other geographical locations, becoming a global pest severely affecting ...

Microwave Assisted Degradation of Lignin to Monolignols

Pharmaceutica Analytica Acta, 2014
Objective: To carry out lignin degradation under very mild conditions using microwave technique. Methods: Lignin salt purchased from HiMedia laboratories was dissolved in distilled water and the solution was introduced to Biotage Initiator microwave. The reaction temperature was varied between 100-150°C with average power 85-90 W.

Storage domains of coniferin in cell wall forming tracheid cells in Pinus thunbergii stems evaluated by cryo microscopic chemical analyses

Scientific Reports
We 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.

Supramolecular Self-Assembled Chaos: Polyphenolic Lignin’s Barrier to Cost-Effective Lignocellulosic Biofuels

Molecules, 2010
Phenylpropanoid metabolism yields a mixture of monolignols that undergo chaotic, non-enzymatic reactions such as free radical polymerization and spontaneous self-assembly in order to form the polyphenolic lignin which is a barrier to cost-effective ...

Diverse biological effects of glycosyltransferase genes from Tartary buckwheat [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an edible cereal crop whose sprouts have been marketed and commercialized for their higher levels of anti-oxidants, including rutin and anthocyanin. UDP-glucose flavonoid glycosyltransferases (UFGTs)

Stacking of a low-lignin trait with an increased guaiacyl and 5-hydroxyguaiacyl unit trait leads to additive and synergistic effects on saccharification efficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Lignocellulosic biomass, such as wood and straw, is an interesting feedstock for the production of fer-mentable sugars. However, mainly due to the presence of lignin, this type of biomass is recalcitrant to saccharification.

Repression of Lignin Biosynthesis Promotes Cellulose Accumulation and Growth in Transgenic Trees [PDF]

, 1999
Because lignin limits the use of wood for fiber, chemical, and energy production, strategies for its downregulation are of considerable interest.
