Lignin is a collection of highly heterogeneous polymers derived from a handful of precursor lignols. Heterogeneity arises from the diversity and degree of crosslinking between these lignols.

2024年12月27日 · Lignin, complex organic polymer that, with cellulose, forms the chief constituent of wood. It is second to cellulose as the most abundant organic material on Earth, though it has found relatively few industrial uses other than as fuel.

Lignin is a biopolymer made up of three types of phenylpropane units linked by ether linkages and carbon–carbon interactions to generate three-dimensional network architecture. From: Bio-Based Flame-retardant Technology for Polymeric Materials, 2022

2018年3月29日 · Lignin is an alkyl-aromatic polymer found in the cell walls of terrestrial plants. Lignin provides structure and rigidity to plants, is a natural, highly effective barrier against microbial attack, and enables water and nutrient transport through plant tissues.

Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell wall and it is a natural phenolic polymer with high molecular weight, complex composition and structure. Lignin biosynthesis extensively contributes to plant growth, tissue/organ development, ...

2025年1月12日 · Lignin is a complex organic polymer found in plant cell walls that provides structural support. It is second only to cellulose in abundance and is crucial for plant growth and development. Lignin also plays a role in the transportation of water and nutrients within the plant.

In the present review, we systematically introduce the biosynthesis of lignin and its regulation by genetic modification and summarize the main biological functions of lignin in plants and their applications.

2023年4月12日 · Lignin can replace or augment its petroleum-based counterparts. And with the current trend for sustainable industries, both from the public and private sectors, lignin has the potential to be a building block of a low-carbon economy.

2018年1月24日 · In the present review, we systematically introduce the biosynthesis of lignin and its regulation by genetic modification and summarize the main biological functions of lignin in plants and their applications.

The meaning of LIGNIN is an amorphous polymer related to cellulose that provides rigidity and together with cellulose forms the woody cell walls of plants and the cementing material between them.
