Spatial regulation of monolignol biosynthesis and laccase genes control developmental and stress-related lignin in flax
Abstract Background Bast fibres are characterized by very thick secondary cell walls containing high amounts of cellulose and low lignin contents in contrast to the heavily lignified cell walls typically found in the xylem tissues. To improve the quality of the fiber-based products in the future, a...
