A phenol-enriched cuticle is ancestral to lignin evolution in land plants
The phenolic polymer lignin is thought to have contributed to adaptation of early land plants to terrestrial environments. Here Renaultet al. show that moss, which does not produce lignin, contains an ancestral phenolic metabolism pathway that produces a phenol-enriched cuticle and prevents desiccat...

| Sumario: | The phenolic polymer lignin is thought to have contributed to adaptation of early land plants to terrestrial environments. Here Renaultet al. show that moss, which does not produce lignin, contains an ancestral phenolic metabolism pathway that produces a phenol-enriched cuticle and prevents desiccation. |
