Saponins, classification and occurrence in the plant kingdom. (2007, background): “This expectation is based on the assumption that similar plant orders contain similar types of enzymes, and that these enzymes can probably catalyse similar biotransformations, ultimately leading to similar chemical structures (Vierhuis et al., 2001; Umezawa, 2003).”

The cinnamate/monolignol pathway (2010, background): “…such as lignins, lignans, neolignans, norlignans, p-hydroxycinnamate esters, coumarins, suberins, flavonoids, and stilbenes (Ishii 1997; Umezawa 2001, 2003, 2005; Bernards 2002; Boerjan et al. 2003; Davin and Lewis 2003; Dixon and Reddy 2003; Ralph et al. 2004a, b, Bunzel et al. 2005;…”
Biosynthesis of lignans and norlignans (2007, background): “Lignans are phenylpropanoid dimers in which the monomers are linked by the central carbon (C8) atoms,(1,2) and are distributed widely in the plant kingdom.(1,3) Norlignans are a class of natural phenolic compounds with diphenylpentane carbon skeletons (C6-C5-C6) that are found mainly in conifers and”
The origin and evolution of lignin biosynthesis. (2010, background): “Whereas hydroxycinnamyl alcohols are widely involved in the biosynthesis of various classes of lignans in tracheophytes, the lignans reported from bryophytes to date are only derived from hydroxycinnamic acids (Tazaki et al., 1995; Cullmann et al., 1999; Scher et al., 2003; Umezawa, 2003).”
