The lignin structure and enzyme activities of normal and brown-midrib (BMR-6) mutant lines of Sorghum bicolor have been compared to identify the enzyme(s) involved in the reduction of the lignin content of the mutant. The results indicate that cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) and caffeic acid O-

Samples of non-decayed birch wood and samples decayed to weight losses of 21, 44, and 67 % by Coriolus versicolor were subjected to acidolysis (4 h reflux in dioxane-water, 9 : 1 by volume, containing 0.2 M HC1). The yields of the two major products, 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propano
Two organic compounds, N-(O-hydroxyphenyl)-and N-(O-aminophenyl)sulfinamoyltertiobutyl acetate (OHPAS and NHzPAS, respectively) have been designed for inhibiting cinnamylalcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.2), a zinc metalloenzyme involved specifically in lignification. This paper describes their effect
