Abstract excerpt
The biosynthesis of lignin in vascular plants is regulated both developmentally and environmentally. In the inflorescence stems of Arabidopsis, lignin is mainly deposited in the walls of xylem cells and interfascicular fiber cells during normal plant growth and development. The mechanisms controlling the spatial deposition of lignin remain unknown. By screening ethyl methanesulfonate-mutagenized populations of...
