cultures was carried out using quantitative real time PCR analyses of all known genes
involved in the biosynthesis of the two monolignols, p-coumaryl and coniferyl alcohols
(lignin/lignan precursors). When the cells were transferred to a medium containing 8%
sucrose and 20 mm potassium iodide, the monolignol/phenylpropanoid pathway was
induced, and transcript levels for phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, p …
