Syringyl lignin production in conifers: Proof of concept in a Pine tracheary element system
This study shows that metabolic engineering can be used to imbue pine tracheary elements with an ability to synthesize sinapyl alcohol, a lignin monomer not normally used for lignification in conifers such as pine. The dynamic nature of the lignification process enables pines to incorporate this mon...
