| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Elucidating lignin biosynthesis is important to utilize biomass, however, there is very little knowledge on the step of transport of lignin precursors from the cytosol to the cell wall in lignifying tissue. Coniferin transport has been found in differentiating xylem of woody plants although the role of the coniferin transport is unclear.
In the present study candidates of a coniferin transporter were found in differentiating xylem of poplar by proteomic analysis. Furthermore, transport activity of p-glucocoumaryl alcohol in differentiating xylem of both poplar and Japanese cypress as well as transport activities of coniferin and p-glucocoumaryl alcohol in bamboo shoots was found in the present study. Transporters of coniferin and p-glucocoumaryl alcohol may be conserved in lignifying tissue of vascular plants.
