Abstract

Lignin, a highly polymeric product of phenylpropanoid metabolism in plants, is one of the most abundant organic materials on the surface of the earth. The evolution of lignin was a key factor in the appearance and radiation of land plants, and lignin still plays important physiological and developmental roles in terrestrial vascular plants.1 Hemicelluloses and lignin form the embedding matrix of both primary and secondary plant cell walls, reinforcing the cellulose microfibrils and imparting rigidity to the wall.2,3 Lignin provides strength, flexibility and impermeability to the cell walls. Thus, lignification is an important step in the terminal differentiation of vascular elements into functional water-conducting tissue.4,5 Lignin is needed to support the weight of the plant and to prevent the compression of vascular tissue that would collapse the cell walls. Lignification is also induced by environmental effects such as pathogen attack or mechanical stress6,7 and thus plays an important role in resistance to disease and other adverse environmental stresses.
