Genes involved in the biosynthesis of lignin precursors in Arabidopsis thaliana (2003, background): “A large part of our current understanding of the monolignol biosynthesis pathway comes from purification of enzymes found in the xylem of forest trees like Eucalyptus, poplar and conifers or from annual plants like tobacco, alfalfa and others (reviewed in [4,6,43]).”
Compositional Variability of Lignin in Biomass (2018, background): “Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature and accounts for almost 30% of the plants [1].”

Root anatomy and soil resource capture (2021, background): “Lignification is associated with mechanical support, water transport through xylem, and defense against pests and microorganisms (Boudet 2000).”
