Sugarcane expressed sequences tags (ESTs) encoding enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis pathways
Lignins are phenolic polymers found in the secondary wall of plant conductive systems where they play an important role by reducing the permeability of the cell wall to water. Lignins are also responsible for the rigidity of the cell wall and are involved in mechanisms of resistance to pathogens. Th...
