MeSH headings : Bioelectric Energy Sources; Biomass; Cellulose / chemistry; Cellulose / metabolism; Genetic Engineering / methods; Lignin / chemistry; Lignin / metabolism; Plant Development; Plants / genetics; Plants / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified
TL;DR:
Recent advances in the understanding of lignin composition, polymerization, and regulation have revealed new opportunities for the rational manipulation of lIGNin in future bioenergy crops, augmenting the previous successful approach of manipulating lign in monomer biosynthesis.

Improvement of biomass through lignin modification
The Plant Journal, 54(4), 569–581.
author keywords: biofuel; brown midrib; digestibility; cell wall; pulping
MeSH headings : Biomass; Lignin / chemistry; Lignin / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / growth & development; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Poaceae / genetics; Poaceae / growth & development; Poaceae / metabolism; Populus / genetics; Populus / growth & development; Populus / metabolism
TL;DR:
Lignin research on Populus trichocarpa and Brachypodium distachyon are emerging as model systems for energy crops and is expected to shed new light on lignin biosynthesis and its regulation in energy crops, and lead to rational genetic engineering approaches to modify lign in for improved biofuel production.

Independent origins of syringyl lignin in vascular plants
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 105(22), 7887–7892.
author keywords: convergent evolution; DFRC; F5H; P450; Selaginella
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / chemistry; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / classification; Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System / genetics; Genetic Complementation Test; Lignin / biosynthesis; Lignin / chemistry; Mixed Function Oxygenases / chemistry; Mixed Function Oxygenases / classification; Mixed Function Oxygenases / genetics; Molecular Sequence Data; Mutation; Phylogeny; Plant Proteins / chemistry; Plant Proteins / classification; Plant Proteins / genetics; Selaginellaceae / enzymology; Substrate Specificity
TL;DR:
Gene expression data, cross-species complementation experiments, and in vitro enzyme assays indicate that this Selaginella F5H represents a new family of plant P450s and suggests that it has evolved independently of angiosperm F 5Hs.
