Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional Regulation of Lignin Biosynthesis Pathway Genes in Populus

Lignin is a heterogeneous polymer of aromatic subunits derived from phenylalanine. It is polymerized in intimate proximity to the polysaccharide components in plant cell walls and provides additional rigidity and compressive strength for plants. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of lignin bios...
