Plant Direct
. 2025 Mar;
9(3):e70053.
PMID: 40084040
Chorismate is an important branchpoint metabolite in the biosynthesis of lignin and a wide array of metabolites in plants. Chorismate mutase (CM), the enzyme responsible for transforming chorismate into prephenate,...

7(2):e482.
PMID: 36733272
The hemicelluloses comprise a group of matrix glycans that interact with cellulose microfibrils in plant cell walls and play important roles in establishing wall architecture. The structures of hemicelluloses are...

237(1):251-264.
PMID: 36196006
Ester-linked p-coumarate (pCA) is a hallmark feature of the secondary cell walls in commelinid monocot plants. It has been shown that pCA groups arise during lignin polymerisation from the participation...

Plant Biotechnol J
. 2022 Sep;
21(1):176-188.
PMID: 36161690
Ester-linked p-hydroxybenzoate occurs naturally in poplar lignin as pendent groups that can be released by mild alkaline hydrolysis. These 'clip-off' phenolics can be separated from biomass and upgraded into diverse...

Front Plant Sci
. 2022 Aug;
13:938083.
PMID: 35937345
The lignin found in the cell walls of poplar fibres is decorated with ester-linked -hydroxybenzoate moieties that originate from the participation of acylated monolignols in lignin polymerisation. Although little is...

Unda F, Mottiar Y, Mahon E, Karlen S, Kim K, Loque D, et al.
New Phytol
. 2022 Apr;
235(1):234-246.
PMID: 35377486
Renewed interests in the development of bioenergy, biochemicals, and biomaterials have elicited new strategies for engineering the lignin of biomass feedstock plants. This study shows, for the first time, that...

de Vries L, MacKay H, Smith R, Mottiar Y, Karlen S, Unda F, et al.
Plant Physiol
. 2022 Jan;
188(2):1014-1027.
PMID: 34977949
Poplar (Populus) lignin is naturally acylated with p-hydroxybenzoate ester moieties. However, the enzyme(s) involved in the biosynthesis of the monolignol-p-hydroxybenzoates have remained largely unknown. Here, we performed an in vitro...

226(3):704-713.
PMID: 31883117
Lignin is a complex phenolic biopolymer found mainly in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants, where it contributes to mechanical strength, water conduction, and plant defence. We studied the...

Curr Opin Biotechnol
. 2016 Jan;
37:190-200.
PMID: 26775114
Lignin is a complex polyphenolic constituent of plant secondary cell walls. Inspired largely by the recalcitrance of lignin to biomass processing, plant engineering efforts have routinely sought to alter lignin...

PMID: 26093023
The phenylpropanoid pathway in plants synthesizes a variety of structural and defence compounds, and is an important target in efforts to reduce cell wall lignin for improved biomass conversion to...
