The utilization of lignin, the most abundant aromatic biomass component, is at the forefront
of sustainable engineering, energy, and environment research, where its abundance and …

Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable resources on earth and is readily produced as
a sidestream during biomass fractioning. So far, these large quantities of lignin have been …

The domestication of forest trees for a more sustainable fiber bioeconomy has long been
hindered by the complexity and plasticity of lignin, a biopolymer in wood that is recalcitrant to …

The conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is
inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with …

Plant growth-defense tradeoffs are fundamental for optimizing plant performance and fitness
