Abstract
Benzodioxane structures are produced in lignins of transgenic poplar plants deficient in COMT, an O-methyltransferase required to produce lignin syrin gyl units. They result from incorporation of 5-hydroxyconiferyl alcohol int o the monomer supply and confirm that phenols other than the three traditio nal monolignols can be integrated into plant lignins.
