Bean pods, asparagus, and broccoli begin to use their sugar to make tough lignified fibers.
2
The only remedy for this kind of toughness is to peel away the lignified areas.
3
Combining the fluorescence and FT-IR information yielded the conclusion that enzymes did not bind to lignified cell walls, which were consequently not degraded.
4
Cells first elongate their primary wall, then lay down a lignified secondary wall, which is often followed by digestion of the primary wall.
5
The vascular tissue of transgenic lines became lignified earlier than in WT plants and also showed an increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
