Experimental and theoretical study of the thermal decomposition of ethyl acetate during fast pyrolysis [PDF]
The thermal decomposition of ethyl acetate was experimentally studied in a newly designed fast pyrolysis set-up. The results were compared to theoretical calculations and literature values in order to proof the experimental concept.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Biosynthesis of monolignols. Genomic and reverse genetic approaches [PDF]
The biosynthesis of monolignols is one of the most studied pathways of plant natural product biosynthesis. However, the pathway has recently undergone considerable revision, and it would appear that our understanding of the exact routes for synthesis of the building blocks of lignin and lignans is still not fully understood.

ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.

Impact of the Absence of Stem-Specific β-Glucosidases on Lignin and Monolignols [PDF]
Abstract Monolignol glucosides are thought to be implicated in the lignin biosynthesis pathway as storage and/or transportation forms of cinnamyl alcohols between the cytosol and the lignifying cell walls. The hydrolysis of these monolignol glucosides would involve β-glucosidase activities. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), in vitro

Synthesis of hydroxycinnamoyl shikimates and their role in monolignol biosynthesis
Abstract Hydroxycinnamoyl shikimates were reported in 2005 to be intermediates in monolignol biosynthesis. 3-Hydroxylation of p-coumarate, originally thought to occur via coumarate 3-hydroxylase (C3H) from p-coumaric acid or its CoA thioester, was revealed to be via the action of coumaroyl shikimate 3′-hydroxylase (C3′H) utilizing p ...
