Journal ArticleDOI

Zhiwei Xu,Luis Escamilla-Trevino,Lihui Zeng,Lihui Zeng,Mallikarjun Lalgondar,David R. Bevan,Brenda S.J. Winkel,Ali I. Mohamed,Chi-Lien Cheng,Ming-Che Shih,Jonathan E. Poulton,Asim Esen +11 more
TL;DR: The completion of the Arabidopsis thalianagenome sequencing project has enabled us, for the first time, to determine the total number of GH Family 1 members in a higher plant and to investigate the substrate specificity of each mature hydrolase after its heterologous expression in the Pichia pastoris expression system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silencing of 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase in switchgrass leads to reduced lignin content and improved fermentable sugar yields for biofuel production.
Bin Xu,Luis Escamilla-Trevino,Noppadon Sathitsuksanoh,Zhengxing Shen,Hui Shen,Y-H Percival Zhang,Y-H Percival Zhang,Richard A. Dixon,Bingyu Zhao +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that Pv44CL1, but not Pv4CL2, is the key 4CL isozyme involved in lignin biosynthesis, and reducing lignIn content in switchgrass biomass by silencing Pv4 CL1 can remarkably increase the efficiency of fermentable sugar release for biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic acid mediates the reduced growth of lignin down-regulated plants
TL;DR: The data indicate that it is possible to engineer plants with highly reduced cell-wall recalcitrance without negatively impacting growth, and place SA as a central component in growth signaling pathways that either sense flux into the monolignol pathway or respond to secondary cell- wall integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal Structure of Medicago truncatula UGT85H2 - Insights into the Structural Basis of a Multifunctional (Iso)flavonoid Glycosyltransferase.
Lenong Li,Luzia V. Modolo,Luis Escamilla-Trevino,Lahoucine Achnine,Richard A. Dixon,Xiaoqiang Wang +5 more
TL;DR: UGT85H2 has higher specificity for flavonol than for isoflavone, and substrate docking combined with enzyme activity assay and kinetic analysis provided structural insights into this substrate specificity and preference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexistence but Independent Biosynthesis of Catechyl and Guaiacyl/Syringyl Lignin Polymers in Seed Coats
Yuki Tobimatsu,Fang Chen,Jin Nakashima,Luis Escamilla-Trevino,Lisa A. Jackson,Richard A. Dixon,John Ralph,John Ralph +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that several dicot plants (Euphorbiaceae and Cleomaceae) produce two distinctively different types of lignin polymers (i.e., catechyl and guaiacyl/syringyl lignins) in a spatio-temporally specific manner within the walls of their seed coat cells.
