Phenylpropanoids are a large class of plant secondary metabolites derived from aromatic
amino acids phenylalanine in most plants or tyrosine in partial monocots. It mainly includes …

Jasmonates (JAs)[Jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonates (MeJAs)] are known to take
part in various physiological processes. Exogenous application of JAs so far tested on …

The plant cell wall is an important factor for determining cell shape, function and response to
the environment. Secondary cell walls, such as those found in xylem, are composed of …

Plant cells biosynthesize primary cell walls (PCW) in all cells and produce secondary cell
walls (SCWs) in specific cell types that conduct water and/or provide mechanical support …

Secondary walls are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses (xylan and
glucomannan) and lignin, and are deposited in some specialized cells, such as tracheary …

Lignin is a phenylpropanoid-derived polymer that functions as a major component of cell
walls in plant vascular tissues. Biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acid Phe provides …

Laccases, as early as 1959, were proposed to catalyze the oxidative polymerization of
monolignols. Genetic evidence in support of this hypothesis has been elusive due to …

Cellulose, which can be converted into numerous industrial products, has important impacts
on the global economy. It has long been known that cellulose synthesis in plants is tightly …

To expand the cultivation area of apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) and select resistant
varieties by genetic engineering, it is necessary to clarify the mechanism of salt and osmotic …

Plant MYB transcription factors control diverse biological processes, such as differentiation,
development and abiotic stress responses. In this study, we characterized Bpl MYB 46, an …
