Direct evidence for α ether linkage between lignin and carbohydrates in wood cell walls
Open accessAbstract
Cross-linking between lignin and polysaccharide in plant cell-wall determines physical, chemical, and biological features of lignocellulosic biomass. Since Erdmann’s first report in 1866, numerous studies have suggested the presence of a bond between hemicelluloses and lignin; however, no clear evidence for this interaction has been reported. We describe the first direct proof of covalent bonding between plant cell-wall polysaccharides and lignin. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to observe the long-range correlations through an α-ether bond between lignin and the primary hydroxyl group of a mannose residue in glucomannan. Complete signal assignment of the cognate structural units was also achieved. Thus, we identified lignin–carbohydrate bonds by complete connectivity analysis from the phenylpropane unit to the carbohydrate moiety.

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.
