Insights into the molecular regulation of monolignol-derived product biosynthesis in the growing hemp hypocotyl

Abstract Background Lignin and lignans are both derived from the monolignol pathway. Despite the similarity of their building blocks, they fulfil different functions in planta. Lignin strengthens the tissues of the plant, while lignans are involved in plant defence and growth regulation. Their biosy...
