Several important monolignols such as coniferyl alcohol were catalyzed using Rhus laccase (RL) from Rhus vernicifera in a water/acetone solution. The enzymatic mechanism is discussed in detail. Sites 6, β, and phenolic oxygen were the main active sites of phenylpropanoid compounds, which were first oxidized by the enzyme and then radicalized. RL was also responsible for lignin biosynthesis, especially in the early stage.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a conventional method used to prolong the shelf-life of fresh-cut vegetables, including lettuce. However, MAP-stored lettuce remains perishable, and its deterioration mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we utilized non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics to evaluate the effects of cutting and extended storage time on metabolite profiles of lettuce stored in MAP.

Seed hardness is an important quality characteristic of pomegranate fruit. The development of seed hardness relies on the deposition of lignin in the inner seed coat, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we identified a member of ABCG transporters, PgABCG9, which may function in seed hardening by negatively regulating lignin biosynthesis.

Podophyllotoxin (PTOX), produced by Linum album, is a monolignol that participates in plant defense strategies. Our previous study established that methyl jasmonate (MeJA) significantly stimulates PTOX production in L. album cells.

It is now well documented that plants produce methane (CH) under aerobic conditions. However, the mechanisms of methane production in plants, its potential precursors, and the factors that are involved in the process are not fully understood. Few studies have considered the effects of blue light on methane emissions from plants; however, the combined effects of temperature and blue light have not been studied.
