Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell wall and it is a natural
phenolic polymer with high molecular weight, complex composition and structure.
Lignin biosynthesis extensively contributes to plant growth, tissue/organ
development, lodging resistance and the responses to a variety of biotic and
abiotic stresses. In the present review, we systematically introduce the
biosynthesis of lignin and its regulation by genetic modification and summarize
the main biological functions of lignin in plants and their applications. We hope
this review will give an in-depth understanding of the important roles of lignin
biosynthesis in various plants' biological processes and provide a theoretical
basis for the genetic improvement of lignin content and composition in energy
plants and crops.
