Integrated -Omics: A Powerful Approach to Understanding the Heterogeneous Lignification of Fibre Crops

Lignin and cellulose represent the two main components of plant secondary walls and the most abundant polymers on Earth. Quantitatively one of the principal products of the phenylpropanoid pathway, lignin confers high mechanical strength and hydrophobicity to plant walls, thus enabling erect growth...
