Phenylpropanoid metabolism in poplar : characterization of the 4-coumarate: CoA ligase gene family and a putative hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA thioesterase
The work presented in this thesis is part of a larger study designed to examine the possibility of altering lignin content and/or composition by genetic engineering. Hybrid poplar was used as a model tree system. Lignin precursors (cinnamyl alcohols) are derived from phenylpropanoid metabolism. 4...
