Lignin monomer composition affects <it>Arabidopsis </it>cell-wall degradability after liquid hot water pretreatment

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lignin is embedded in the plant cell wall matrix, and impedes the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic feedstocks. To investigate whether enzymatic digestibility of cell wall materials can be improved by altering the relativ...
