| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we have developed a new tool for visualizing plant cell wall lignification by using synthetic chemical probes. The developed method can be implemented in various research settings aiming to investigate the elusive mechanisms of plant cell wall development and ultimately facilitate the use of plant cell wall materials as sustainable biomass resource. With collaborators, we explore the utility of the developed chemical probes to visualize the dynamics of plant cell wall lignification processes in various plant tissues and obtained several new insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with the development of plant cell walls.
