Bifunctional Phenylalanine/Tyrosine Ammonia-Lyase (PTAL) Enhances Lignin Biosynthesis: Implications in Carbon Fixation in Plants by Genetic Engineering

Lignin is a key metabolite for terrestrial plants. Two types of aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr), serve as the precursors for lignin biosynthesis. In most plant species, Phe is deaminated by Phe ammonia-lyase (PAL) to initiate lignin biosynthesis, but in grass species, Ph...
