Covering: Up to 2019 Phenolic cross-links and phenolic inter-unit linkages result from the
oxidative coupling of two hydroxycinnamates or two molecules of tyrosine. Free dimers of …

In the cell walls of forage grasses, ferulic acid is esterified to arabinoxylans and participates
with lignin monomers in oxidative coupling pathways to generate ferulate–polysaccharide …

In cereals, the primary cell wall is built of a skeleton of cellulosic microfibrils embedded in a
matrix of hemicelluloses and smaller amounts of pectins, glycoproteins and …

Background Corn borers constitute an important pest of maize around the world; in particular
Sesamia nonagrioides Lefèbvre, named Mediterranean corn borer (MCB), causes important …

A rise in resistance to current antifungals necessitates strategies to identify alternative
sources of effective fungicides. We report the discovery of poacic acid, a potent antifungal …

Hydroxycinnamates such as ferulic acid, sinapic acid and p-coumaric acid ester-linked to
plant cell wall polymers may act as cross-links between polysaccharides to each other, but …

This article summarizes evolving concepts and scientific findings on cell wall feruloylation
and ferulate oxidative coupling processes in grasses, and the effects these have on the wide …

Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic acid commonly found in plant cell walls, providing structural
support and protection against environmental stresses. Its antioxidant properties make it a …

European and Mediterranean corn borers are two of the most economically important insect
pests of maize (Zea mays L.) in North America and southern Europe, respectively. Cell wall …

Phenolic esters have attracted considerable interest due to the potential they offer for
peroxidase catalysed cross-linking of cell wall polysaccharides. Particularly, feruloyl …
