Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and Metabolic Profiles of Catalpa bungei Tension Wood Reveal New Insight Into Lignin Biosynthesis Involving Transcription Factor Regulation

Lignin is a complex polymer in plant cell walls whose proportion is second only to that of cellulose and plays an important role in the mechanical properties of wood and stress resistance of plants. Here, we induced tension wood (TW) formation in Catalpa bungei by artificial bending and analyzed the...
