Words similar to lignin

Example sentences for: lignin

How can you use “lignin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In maize the relationship between cell wall composition and flowering time appeared independent of lignin content, but instead seemed to depend on lignin subunit composition [ 12 ] .
Mutations in lignin biosynthesis may affect the effective concentration of such molecules, which could include dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol glucosides (DCGs).
The maize brown midrib mutants have a reduction in lignin content and an altered lignin subunit composition [ 13 ] . Lignin is a complex hydrophobic polymer made of substituted p -hydroxy-cinnamyl alcohol units that differ in their extent of hydroxylation and methoxylation (for recent reviews see [ 14 15 ] ). Lignin is important for the transport of water and plant rigidity and it serves as a defense mechanism against pests and pathogens.
Instead, the lignin contains more 5-hydroxyguaiacyl residues and therefore resembles the lignin composition of the bm3 mutant of maize [ 26 27 ] . Little is known about the lignin composition of the other bmr mutants.
The content and composition of the cell wall polymer lignin is also altered in the sorghum bmr mutants [ 21 ] . The bmr6 mutation was shown to result in an accumulation of coniferaldehyde [ 22 ] and sinapaldehyde [ 23 ] and seems to be most similar to the maize bm1 mutant [ 24 ] . The bmr12 and bmr18 mutants are allelic [ 25 ] . These mutants have lignin with lower amounts of syringyl residues.
