Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described is an isolated lignified plant cell wall including lignin, wherein the lignin includes a ferulate residue incorporated therein, such as from coniferyl ferulate and/or sinapyl ferulate. Also described is a method to make the isolated lignified plant cell wall, and the lignin produced by the method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated lignified plant cell wall comprising lignin, wherein the lignin includes a ferulate residue incorporated therein, wherein the ferulate residue is derived from sinapyl ferulate, wherein the isolated lignified plant cell wall is derived from a tree. 2. The isolated lignified plant cell wall of claim 1 , derived from a tree of the family Myrtaceae, Salicaceae, or a hybrid thereof. 3. The isolated lignified plant cell wall of claim 2 , derived from a tree of a genus selected from the group consisting of Salix, Eucalyptus, Corymbia , and Angophora , or a hybrid thereof. 4. An isolated lignified plant cell wall comprising lignin, wherein the lignin includes a ferulate residue incorporated therein, wherein the ferulate residue is derived from sinapyl ferulate, wherein the isolated lignified plant cell wall is derived from a eucalyptus tree, a poplar tree, a willow tree, or a hybrid thereof.
