The genetics of lignin biosynthesis: connecting genotype to phenotype. (2010, background): “The recalcitrance of the lignin polymer to degradation has also in large part driven scientific inquiry into its structure and biosynthesis, as the presence of lignin in animal feed and forage greatly reduces its nutritional quality (44, 84), and removal of lignin from wood pulp in the process of pa”
Opportunities for Napier Grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ) Improvement Using Molecular Genetics (2017, neutral): “Lignin, an integral component of the plant secondary cell wall [87], is the primary factor limiting organic matter digestibility and nutrient availability in forages [88,89] by interfering (as a physical barrier) with microbial enzymatic activity [88,90].”
