Expression of a bacterial 3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase reduces lignin content and improves biomass saccharification efficiency. [PDF]
Lignin confers recalcitrance to plant biomass used as feedstocks in agro-processing industries or as source of renewable sugars for the production of bioproducts. The metabolic steps for the synthesis of lignin building blocks belong to the shikimate and

Improving total saccharification yield of Arabidopsis plants by vessel-specific complementation of caffeoyl shikimate esterase (cse) mutants [PDF]
Background: Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) was recently characterized as an enzyme central to the lignin biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Summary Postharvest pathogens can infect fresh produce both before and after harvest, by direct or wound‐enhanced penetration, remaining quiescent until ripening. Biotrophic‐like postharvest pathogens persist beneath host cells and can remain in a state of quiescence.

ABSTRACT Lignin, a major cell‐wall component of woody biomass, exhibits photoluminescent (PL) properties. Controlling the intensity and colour of the PL is essential for producing lignin‐based value‐added materials. Herein, we modify the PL properties of lignin via genetic engineering of novel luminophore structures. Feruloyl‐CoA 6′‐hydroxylase (F6′H1)

Monolignol export by diffusion down a polymerization-induced concentration gradient
AbstractLignin, the second most abundant biopolymer, is a promising renewable energy source and chemical feedstock. A key element of lignin biosynthesis is unknown: how do lignin precursors (monolignols) get from inside the cell out to the cell wall where they are polymerized?

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Engineering monolignol p-coumarate conjugates into Poplar and Arabidopsis lignins [PDF]
Lignin acylation, the decoration of hydroxyls on lignin structural units with acyl groups, is common in many plant species. Monocot lignins are decorated with p-coumarates by the polymerization of monolignol p-coumarate conjugates. The acyltransferase involved in the formation of these conjugates has been identified in a number of model monocot species,
