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

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

Tracking Monolignols during Wood Development in Lodgepole Pine [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2008 Abstract Secondary xylem (wood) formation in gymnosperms requires that the tracheid protoplasts first build an elaborate secondary cell wall from an array of polysaccharides and then reinforce it with lignin, an amorphous, three-dimensional product of the random radical coupling of monolignols.

MicroorganismsLignin is a complex aromatic polymer that constitutes a major fraction of plant biomass and represents a valuable renewable carbon resource. Naturally decaying wood serves as an environmental reservoir of microorganisms capable of degrading lignin.

Unexpected polymerization mechanism of dilignol in the lignin growing [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Lignin is an essential component of higher plants, which is built by the enzymatic dehydrogenative polymerization of monolignols. First, monolignol is enzymatically oxidized to produce the phenoxy radical, which can form resonance hybrids.

Exploring the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genome by BAC sequencing and Cot analysis. [PDF]
, 2018 Loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) is an economically and ecologically important tree in the southeastern U.S. To advance understanding of the loblolly pine (LP; Pinus taeda L.) genome, we sequenced and analyzed 100 BAC clones and performed a Cot ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Relative Binding Affinities of Monolignols to Horseradish Peroxidase
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2016 Monolignol binding to the peroxidase active site is the first step in lignin polymerization in plant cell walls. Using molecular dynamics, docking, and free energy perturbation calculations, we investigate the binding of monolignols to horseradish peroxidase C.

Molecular factors involved in the formation of secondary vascular tissues and lignification in higher plants [PDF]
, 2003 The formation of secondary vascular tissues involves complex processes and many steps, a number of which have been examined in detail in this study. A novel CuZn-SOD, with a high pI and thus denoted hipI-SOD, was identified and characterized in Pinus ...

A key role for apoplastic H2O2 in Norway spruce phenolic metabolism [PDF]
, 2017 Apoplastic events such as monolignol oxidation and lignin polymerization are difficult to study in intact trees. To investigate the role of apoplastic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in gymnosperm phenolic metabolism, an extracellular lignin-forming cell ...
