Laccase-dependent lignification of secondary cell walls of protoxylem tracheary elements in Arabidopsis thaliana
Lignin is a phenolic polymer that plays important roles in the structural integrity of plants. Both peroxidases and laccases have been implicated in the polymerization of lignin, and mutant analyses have conclusively demonstrated a role for laccases in lignification of Arabidopsis thaliana stems....
