Effects of P-Coumarate 3-Hydroxylase Downregulation on the Compositional and Structural Characteristics of Lignin and Hemicelluloses in Poplar Wood (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa)

Elucidating the chemical and structural characteristics of hemicelluloses and lignin in the p-coumarate 3-hydroxylase (C3H) down-regulated poplar wood will be beneficial to the upstream gene validation and downstream biomass conversion of this kind of transgenic poplar. Herein, the representative he...
