Abstract

Summary Lignin is a polymeric constituent of the cell wall that needs to be removed during the paper making process. Bi‐specific caffeic acid/5‐hydroxyferulic acid O ‐methyltransferase (COMT) catalyses the O ‐methylation of caffeic acid and 5‐hydroxyferulic acid to ferulic acid and sinapic acid, res...
