Evaluation of guaiacyl lignin aromatic structures using 13CO2 administered Ginkgo biloba L. xylem by quantitative solid- and liquid-state 13C NMR

概要

Lignin is one of the major plant cell wall components, which has a highly complicated
structure formed by the radical coupling of monolignols. The general functions of lignin in plants are
to give the stems rigidity, assist in water movement, and protect plants against biological attack
(Niklas and Pratt 1980; Dimmel 2010). Despite various studies, the chemical structure of native lignin
has not been completely understood. ...
