Lignin engineering.

Abstract excerpt

Lignins are aromatic polymers that are present mainly in secondarily thickened plant cell walls. Several decades of research have elucidated the main biosynthetic routes toward the monolignols and demonstrated that lignin amounts can be engineered and that plants can cope with large shifts in p-hydroxyphenyl/guaiacyl/syringyl (H/G/S) lignin compositional ratios. It has also become clear that lignins incorporate...
