Variation in Lignin Content and Composition (Mechanisms of Control and Implications for the Genetic Improvement of Plants).
TL;DR: This Update will focus on the levels of control of lignin variation, including (a) metabolic control, (b) regulation of individual enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway, and (c)regulation of gene expression, which affect variation in lignIn content, quality, and distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cell biology of lignification in higher plants
TL;DR: The different roles of lignin for the function of each specific plant cell type are clearly illustrated by the multiple phenotypic defects exhibited by knock-out mutants in lignIn synthesis, which may explain why no general mechanism for lignification has yet been defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemistry and molecular biology of lignification
TL;DR: This review focuses on the modern physicochemical methods of structural analysis of lignins, and on the new approaches of molecular biology and genetic engineering applied to lignification.

Laccase from Sycamore Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) Polymerizes Monolignols.
TL;DR: An in-depth study of laccase, one of the oxidative enzymes possibly responsible for catalyzing the dehydrogenative polymerization of monolignols in the extracellular matrix, was undertaken with the use of cell suspension cultures of sycamore maple.
