Lignin Biosynthesis Gene Expression Is Associated with Age-related Resistance of Winter Squash to Phytophthora capsici

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2023
The Oomycete plant pathogen, Phytophthora capsici, causes root, crown, and fruit rot of winter squash (Cucurbita moschata) and limits production. Some C.

Shikimate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HCT) activity assays in Populus nigra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lignin is a complex phenolic polymer deposited in secondarily-thickened plant cell walls. The polymer is mainly derived from the three primary monolignols: p-coumaryl, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohol which give rise to p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl and ...

Laccase from Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) Polymerizes Monolignols [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1992
Current understanding of the final oxidative steps leading to lignin deposition in trees and other higher plants is limited with respect to what enzymes are involved, where they are localized, how they are transported, and what factors regulate them. With the use of cell suspension cultures of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), an in-depth study of ...

Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO₂and CH₄fluxes in neotropical peat profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Tropical peatlands represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) to the atmosphere. However, we do not know where in the peat profile these gases are produced and how controlling factors, such as substrate quality, which can ...

BnLATE, a Cys2/His2-Type Zinc-Finger Protein, Enhances Silique Shattering Resistance by Negatively Regulating Lignin Accumulation in the Silique Walls of Brassica napus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Silique shattering resistance is one of the most important agricultural traits in oil crop breeding. Seed shedding from siliques prior to and during harvest causes devastating losses in oilseed yield.

Analysis of gene mutation in plant cell wall by dielectric relaxation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Epigallocatechin gallate incorporation into lignin enhances the alkaline delignification and enzymatic saccharification of cell walls

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2012
Background Lignin is an integral component of the plant cell wall matrix but impedes the conversion of biomass into biofuels. The plasticity of lignin biosynthesis should permit the inclusion of new compatible phenolic monomers such as flavonoids into ...

Identification of Wheat LACCASEs in Response to Fusarium graminearum as Potential Deoxynivalenol Trappers

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) can cause huge yield reductions and contamination of grain with deoxynivalenol (DON), and thus is one of the most problematic pathogen of wheat worldwide.
