Lignified tissues of plants also perform conducting and protective functions, in addition to its mechanical (supporting) one. The polymorphic options of the enzymes involved into biosynthesis of lignin and its accompanying substances (PAL (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase), C4H (cinnamate 4-hydroxylase), C...
Importance of Structural Makeup of Biopolymers for Organic Contaminant Sorption Sorption of pyrene, phenanthrene, naphthalene, and 1-naphthol by original (lignin, chitin, and cellulose) and coated biopolymers was examined. Organic carb... XILONG WANG,BAOSHAN XING - 《Environmental Science & Technology...
Plant genome contains entire genetic information of a species, recording its evolutionary history and direction. Comprehensive understanding of plant genome evolution is important in revealing the relationships and evolutionary processes among plant species. Moreover, it reveals the genetic foundations that e...
As a unique and the second most abundant biopolymer (representing approximately 30% of biosyn- thesized organic carbon26) in vascular plants, lignin has been widely used in tracing terrigenous POC in rivers and oceans27,28. 70–80% of lignin are distributed in the surface layers of soils (O...
Second-generation biofuel technology is less well-established, as many of the feedstocks are high inlignocellulosic biomass. The processes to convert this to usable fuel are more complex than first-generation biofuels. Lignocellulosic materials, the complex matrix of lignin, pectin, and polysaccharides ...
Hispidin (1) and bisnoryangonin (2) may polymerize during maturation of fungi and production of fungal lignin. Steglich and coworkers characterized 3,14¢-bihispidinyl (3) from P. pomaceus30 and hypholomines A (4) and B (5) and fasciculines A (6) and B (7) from Hypholoma fas...

When N -glucosylation was disrupted in plants, radioactivity derived from [ 14 C]-DCA became covalently bound into high molecular weight insoluble material, principally associated with the lignin fraction. This suggested that insolubilization into stable cell wall components represented a more effective ...
The major components of the humin are predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbon functionalities, especially those found in lipids, waxes, cuticular materials, cutin/cutan, and suberin/suberan, which are relatively minor components of plants. There is also evidence for small amounts of carbohydrate (possibly...
In this paper, the biosynthesis process of phenolic compounds in plants is summarized, which includes the shikimate, pentose phosphate and phenylpropanoid pathways. Plant phenolic compounds can act as antioxidants, structural polymers (lignin), attractants (flavonoids and carotenoids), UV screens (...
