Research Abstract |
Suberin is specifically deposited in outer bark of woody plant. The biopolymer is composed of poly aliphatic domain and poly phenolic domain. In suberin biosynthesis, ferulic acid derivatives were esterification with long chain fatty acids and glycerol, and dehydrogenatively polymerized by peroxidase to give ・-O-4' and various structures.
