Abstract

Abstract: NMR methods can be used to delineate detailed structural and regiochemical information on the plant cell wall and elucidate biochemical incorporation pathways. Maize lignin isolated in high yield from rind tissue of stem internodes contained high amounts of esterified p-coumaric acid. Available literature indicated that acylation of the lignin by p-coumaric acid was at the α- or γ-position of the lignin side-chain, implicating two diverse biochemical pathways. Application of 13C – 1H correlative NMR experiments to this maize lignin, synthetic α- and γ-p-coumaroylated lignin model compounds, and a specifically labeled synthetic coniferyl alcohol/coniferyl p-coumarate dehydrogenation polymer (DHP) unambiguously revealed that p-coumaric acid is attached exclusively at the γ-position. The biochemical implication is that lignin acylation occurs by enzymatically controlled pre-acylation of lignin monomers which are subsequently incorporated into the lignin polymer via oxidative coupling. “Opportunistic ” acylation at the α-position via quinone methide intermediates is insignificant.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
