Article Synopsis
- Lignin is a crucial polymer in plant cell walls, next in abundance to cellulose, and is vital for wood strength and plant resilience.
- In a study, researchers induced tension wood (TW) by bending and found that it had higher levels of coniferyl aldehyde but lower total lignin compared to opposite wood (OW) and normal wood (NW).
- Key transcription factors NAC and HD-ZIP were identified as possibly enhancing the production of lignin precursors in TW, while the decreased total lignin levels may relate to lower translation of CAD genes, indicating a need for further research on post-transcriptional effects.
