Grass lignins contain substantial amounts of p‐coumarate ( pCA ) that acylate the side‐chains
of the phenylpropanoid polymer backbone. An acyltransferase, named p‐coumaroyl‐CoA:…

Grass lignins can contain up to 10% to 15% by weight of p-coumaric esters. This acylation is
performed on monolignols under the catalysis of p-coumaroyl-coenzyme A monolignol …

The oxidation of monolignols is a required step for lignin polymerization and deposition in
cell walls. In dicots, both peroxidases and laccases are known to participate in this process. …

While Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is an emerging model for grasses, no
expression atlas or gene coexpression network is available. Such tools are of high importance to …

Monolignol glucosides are thought to be implicated in the lignin biosynthesis pathway as
storage and/or transportation forms of cinnamyl alcohols between the cytosol and the lignifying …

In angiosperms, the α/β hydrolase DWARF14 (D14), along with the F-box protein MORE
AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MAX2), perceives strigolactones (SL) to regulate developmental …

Cereal crop by-products are a promising source of renewable raw material for the production
of biofuel from lignocellulose. However, their enzymatic conversion to fermentable sugars …

SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 (SMAX)1-LIKE (SMXL) proteins are a plant-specific clade of type I
HSP100/Clp-ATPases. SMXL genes are present in virtually all land plant genomes. …

Brachypodium distachyon ( B rachypodium) has been proposed as a model for grasses, but
there is limited knowledge regarding its lignins and no data on lignin‐related mutants. The …

KAI2 proteins are plant α/β hydrolase receptors which perceive smoke-derived butenolide
signals and endogenous, yet unidentified KAI2-ligands (KLs). The number of functional KAI2 …
