Establishment of the grass lignin metabolic network during monocot evolution

Plants produce a vast diversity of chemical compounds, yet the evolutionary history of the underlying complex metabolic networks remains poorly understood. Grasses (Poaceae family) possess a unique lignin metabolic network that can utilize both phenylalanine and tyrosine as precursors to synthesize canonical lignin as...

Genomes of Poaceae relatives reveal key metabolic innovations preceding the evolution of grasses.

The grass family (Poaceae) has immense economic and ecological importance and exhibits distinctive metabolic traits, including dual starch and lignin biosynthetic pathways. We sequenced the genomes of Pharus, Joinvillea, Ecdeiocolea, and Typha species to investigate when and how these metabolic innovations evolved rela...
