Journal ArticleDOI
Unravelling cell wall formation in the woody dicot stem.
TL;DR: Populus is presented as a model system for the study of wood formation and high-resolution analysis of auxin distribution across cambial region tissues suggests that auxin provides positional information for the exit of cells from the meristem and probably also for the duration of cell expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis and genetic engineering of lignin
TL;DR: Progress in the knowledge of the lignin biosynthesis pathway has been obtained and it is now clear that the pathway is more complex than initially thought and there is evidence for alternative pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red Xylem and Higher Lignin Extractability by Down-Regulating a Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Poplar
Marie Baucher,Brigitte Chabbert,Gilles Pilate,J. Van Doorsselaere,M T Tollier,Michel Petit-Conil,Daniel Cornu,Bernard Monties,M. Van Montagu,Dirk Inzé,Lise Jouanin,Wout Boerjan +11 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that reducing the CAD activity in trees might be a valuable strategy to optimize certain processes of the wood industry, especially those of the pulp and paper industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin: Genetic Engineering and Impact on Pulping
TL;DR: How genetic engineering has yielded new insights into how the lignin biosynthetic pathway operates is described and it is demonstrated that lignIn can be improved to facilitate pulping.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel lignin in poplar trees with a reduced caffeic acid/5-hydroxyferulic acid O-methyltransferase activity
Jan Van Doorsselaere,Marie Baucher,Emmanuelle Chognot,Brigitte Chabbert,Marie-Thérèse Tollier,Michel Petit-Conil,Jean-Charles Leplé,Jean-Charles Leplé,Gilles Pilate,Daniel Cornu,Bernard Monties,Marc Van Montagu,Dirk Inzé,Wout Boerjan,Lise Jouanin +14 more
TL;DR: Although the lignin composition was consistently modified, theLignin content of the transgenic poplars was similar to that of the controls, and a similar phenotype was observed in brown-midrib mutants of maize and sorghum, known for their altered lignification.
