TL;DR: The genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (Selaginella), the first nonseed vascular plant genome reported, is reported, finding that the transition from a gametophytes- to a sporophyte-dominated life cycle required far fewer new genes than the Transition from a non Seed vascular to a flowering plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and evolution of lignin biosynthesis.
Jing-Ke Weng,Clint Chapple +1 more
TL;DR: A number of aspects regarding the origin and evolution of lignin biosynthesis during land plant evolution are discussed, including the establishment of its monomer biosynthetic scaffold, potential precursors to the lIGNin polymer, as well as the emergence of the polymerization machinery and regulatory system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of biomass through lignin modification.
Xu Li,Jing-Ke Weng,Clint Chapple +2 more
TL;DR: Lignin research on Populus trichocarpa and Brachypodium distachyon are emerging as model systems for energy crops and is expected to shed new light on lignin biosynthesis and its regulation in energy crops, and lead to rational genetic engineering approaches to modify lign in for improved biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging strategies of lignin engineering and degradation for cellulosic biofuel production
TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of lignin composition, polymerization, and regulation have revealed new opportunities for the rational manipulation of lIGNin in future bioenergy crops, augmenting the previous successful approach of manipulating lign in monomer biosynthesis.

TL;DR: The review discusses the new classes of RiPPs that have been discovered, the advances in the understanding of the installation of both primary and secondary post-translational modifications, and the mechanisms by which the enzymes recognize the leader peptides in their substrates.
