Contribution of phenylpropanoid metabolism to plant development and plant-environment interactions.
TL;DR: Recent progress on elucidating the contribution of phenylpropanoid metabolism to the coordination of plant development and plant-environment interaction, and metabolic flux redirection among diverse metabolic routes are summarized.

The cell biology of secondary cell wall biosynthesis.
TL;DR: This review puts SCW biosynthesis in a cellular context, with the aim of integrating molecular biology and biochemistry with plant cell biology, and reflects the fact that protoxylem tracheary elements have proven to be the most amenable experimental system in which to study the cell biology of SCWs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Supply and the Regulation of Cell Wall Synthesis
TL;DR: How newly fixed carbon, in the form of UDP-glucose and other nucleotide sugars, contributes to the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides, and how cell wall synthesis is influenced by the carbon status of the plant are discussed, with a focus on the model species Arabidopsis.

MYB20, MYB42, MYB43, and MYB85 Regulate Phenylalanine and Lignin Biosynthesis during Secondary Cell Wall Formation
Pan Geng,Su Zhang,Jinyue Liu,Cui-Huan Zhao,Jie Wu,Yingping Cao,Chunxiang Fu,Xue Han,Hang He,Qiao Zhao +9 more
TL;DR: The data showed that these MYB proteins directly activated transcriptional repressors that specifically inhibit flavonoid biosynthesis, which competes with lignin biosynthesis for Phe precursors, and provide important insights into the molecular framework for the lignIn biosynthesis pathway.

NAC Transcription Factors, NST1 and NST3, Are Key Regulators of the Formation of Secondary Walls in Woody Tissues of Arabidopsis
Nobutaka Mitsuda,Akira Iwase,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Masato Yoshida,Motoaki Seki,Kazuo Shinozaki,Masaru Ohme-Takagi +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that putative orthologs of NST1 and NST3 are also key regulators of the formation of secondary walls in woody plants and could be used as a tool for the genetic engineering of wood and its derivatives.
