Lignocellulose synthesis and regulatory mechanisms:from model plants to rapeseed
Lignocellulose,composing of lignin,cellulose and hemicellulose,is an important component of plant cells.It can enhance the mechanical strength of plant cells and tissues,and is of great significance for ensur-ing the transport of plant nutrients and stem support.Rapeseed is one of the most significan oil crop in China and the world.It can be used for oil,feeding,vegetables,honey and sightseeing.Lignocellulose can also effectively guar-antee the mechanical strength of plant cells and tissues,and improve the resistance to lodging,diseases and insects.The research progress of lignocellulosic synthesis and the regulation mechanism in Arabidopsis thaliana and rape-seed is reviewed.The research of lignocellulosic in Arabidopsis thaliana is expected to promote the further research of rapeseed,and the potential application of the lignocellulosic research in rapeseed is discussed.
