Harnessing lignin evolution for biotechnological applications
Lignin evolved concomitantly with the rise of vascular plants on planet earth ∼450 million years ago. Several iterations of exploiting ancestral phenylpropanoid metabolism for biopolymers occurred prior to lignin that facilitated early plants’ adaptation to terrestrial environments. The first true l...
