Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin Biosynthesis and Structure
TL;DR: Lignin is the generic term for a large group of aromatic polymers resulting from the oxidative combinatorial coupling of 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoids, deposited predominantly in the walls of secondarily thickened cells, making them lignin-like polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Timetable for Apical Bud Formation and Dormancy Induction in Poplar
Tom Ruttink,Tom Ruttink,Matthias Arend,Kris Morreel,Kris Morreel,Veronique Storme,Veronique Storme,Stephane Rombauts,Stephane Rombauts,Jörg Fromm,Rishikesh P. Bhalerao,Wout Boerjan,Wout Boerjan,Antje Rohde,Antje Rohde +14 more
TL;DR: The identification of a large set of genes commonly expressed during the growth-to-dormancy transitions in poplar apical buds, cambium, or Arabidopsis thaliana seeds suggests parallels in the underlying molecular mechanisms in different plant organs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeoyl Shikimate Esterase (CSE) Is an Enzyme in the Lignin Biosynthetic Pathway in Arabidopsis
Ruben Vanholme,Ruben Vanholme,Igor Cesarino,Igor Cesarino,Katarzyna Rataj,Yuguo Xiao,Lisa Sundin,Lisa Sundin,Geert Goeminne,Geert Goeminne,Hoon Kim,Joanna Cross,Joanna Cross,Kris Morreel,Kris Morreel,Pedro Araújo,Pedro Araújo,Lydia Welsh,Jurgen Haustraete,Christopher McClellan,Bartel Vanholme,Bartel Vanholme,John Ralph,Gordon G. Simpson,Claire Halpin,Wout Boerjan,Wout Boerjan +26 more
TL;DR: Associated with the changes in lignin, the conversion of cellulose to glucose in cse mutants increased up to fourfold as compared to that in the wild type upon saccharification without pretreatment, which necessitate the revision of currently accepted models of the lign in biosynthetic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping methyl jasmonate-mediated transcriptional reprogramming of metabolism and cell cycle progression in cultured Arabidopsis cells
Laurens Pauwels,Kris Morreel,Emilie De Witte,Freya Lammertyn,Marc Van Montagu,Wout Boerjan,Dirk Inzé,Alain Goossens +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, MeJA response genes encoded the JA biosynthesis pathway proteins and key regulators of MeJA responses, including most JA ZIM domain proteins and MYC2, together with transcriptional regulators with potential, but yet unknown, functions in MeJA signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Phenotyping of the pal1 and pal2 Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana Reveals Far-Reaching Consequences on Phenylpropanoid, Amino Acid, and Carbohydrate Metabolism
Antje Rohde,Kris Morreel,John Ralph,Geert Goeminne,Vanessa Hostyn,Riet De Rycke,Sergej Kushnir,Jan Van Doorsselaere,Jean-Paul Joseleau,Marnik Vuylsteke,Gonzalez Van Driessche,Jozef Van Beeumen,Eric Messens,Wout Boerjan +13 more
TL;DR: Together, from the molecular phenotype, common and specific functions of PAL1 and PAL2 are delineated, and PAL1 is qualified as being more important for the generation of phenylpropanoids.
