Lignin is an abundant heterogeneous aromatic biopolymer in the nature with a complex and an irregular structure and very low solubility in common solvents. Such drawbacks limit lignin isolation from wood and its conversion to value-added products...

Plants naturally express variable levels of resistance

against different groups of their pathogens. This kind of

primary defense response is known as basal, general,

partial, polygenic or multigenic ...

, for reduction of disease severity, indicates induction of resistance by riboflavin in plant. This case was confirmed by investigating cellular and molecular defense responses of the plant. Lignin formation in the cells of rice plants treated with riboflavin...

The role of riboflavin as an elictor of systemic resistance and a plant defence activator in rice was demonstrated in the present study. Following treatment with riboflavin, rice plants developed systemic resistance to ...

Several methods for isolation and purification of cellulose from coffee silverskin (CS) were investigated using alkaline, hydrogen peroxide (HP), organosolvents, acetic acid, and their combinations. The process and cellulose ...

An in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of chemical or physical treatments on disappearance kinetics of dry matter, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of cottonseed hulls (CH). ...

of rice resistance to this fungus.Also, we investigated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS), enzymatic antioxidants and lignin in basal resistance of rice to this necrotrophic fungus. Priming in H2O2 and O2 − accumulation, peroxidase (POX...

Lignin is a major component of soil organic matter and also a rich source of carbon dioxide

in soils. However, because of its complex structure and recalcitrant nature, lignin degradation is

a major challenge. Efforts have been made...
