Anthocyanins are natural water-soluble pigments that are important in plants because they
endow a variety of colors to vegetative tissues and reproductive plant organs, mainly …

Pathogens hitting the plant cell wall is the first impetus that triggers the phenylpropanoid
pathway for plant defense. The phenylpropanoid pathway bifurcates into the production of …

The phenylpropanoid pathway gives rise to lignin, flavonoids, and other metabolites and is
regulated by MYB transcription factors. Many R2R3-MYB transcriptional activators are …

Phenylpropanoids are a large class of plant secondary metabolites derived from aromatic
amino acids phenylalanine in most plants or tyrosine in partial monocots. It mainly includes …

Plant growth-defense tradeoffs are fundamental for optimizing plant performance and fitness
in a changing biotic/abiotic environment. This process is thought to involve readjusting …

Phenylpropanoid-derived compounds represent a diverse family of secondary metabolites
that originate from phenylalanine. These compounds have roles in plant growth and …

Lignin is a complex polymer that is embedded in plant cell walls to provide physical support
and water protection. For these reasons, the production of lignin is closely linked with plant …

Plant cells biosynthesize primary cell walls (PCW) in all cells and produce secondary cell
walls (SCWs) in specific cell types that conduct water and/or provide mechanical support …

The MYB family of proteins is large, functionally diverse and represented in all eukaryotes.
Most MYB proteins function as transcription factors with varying numbers of MYB domain …

Lignin is a phenylpropanoid-derived polymer that functions as a major component of cell
walls in plant vascular tissues. Biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acid Phe provides …
