A multi-omics quantitative integrative analysis of lignin biosynthesis can advance the
strategic engineering of wood for timber, pulp, and biofuels. Lignin is polymerized from three …

We established a predictive kinetic metabolic-flux model for the 21 enzymes and 24
metabolites of the monolignol biosynthetic pathway using Populus trichocarpa secondary …

The domestication of forest trees for a more sustainable fiber bioeconomy has long been
hindered by the complexity and plasticity of lignin, a biopolymer in wood that is recalcitrant to …

Stem cells are responsible for generating all of the differentiated cells, tissues, and organs
in a multicellular organism and, thus, play a crucial role in cell renewal, regeneration, and …

4-Coumaric acid:coenzyme A ligase (4CL) is involved in monolignol biosynthesis for lignification
in plant cell walls. It ligates coenzyme A (CoA) with hydroxycinnamic acids, such as 4-…

A key remit of the NSF ‐funded “Arabidopsis Research and Training for the 21 st Century” (
ART ‐21) Research Coordination Network has been to convene a series of workshops with …

For many horticultural crops, variation in quality (eg, shape and size) contributes significantly
to the crop’s market value. Metrics characterizing less subjective harvest quantities (eg, …

Computational solutions enable plant scientists to model protein-mediated stress responses
and characterize novel gene functions that coordinate responses to a variety of abiotic …
