Characterization of phenylpropanoid pathway genes within European maize (<it>Zea mays </it>L.) inbreds
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Forage quality of maize is influenced by both the content and structure of lignins in the cell wall. Biosynthesis of monolignols, constituting the complex structure of lignins, is catalyzed by enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway.&...
