Lignin is the generic term for a large group of aromatic polymers resulting from the oxidative combinatorial coupling of 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoids ([Boerjan et al., 2003][1]; [Ralph et al., 2004][2]). These polymers are deposited predominantly in the walls of secondarily thickened cells, making them
