Natalie Hoffmann and other Samuels lab alumni Anika Benske, Heather Betz and Mathias Schuetz have published a new paper in Plant Physiology. Their paper, Laccases and Peroxidases Co-Localize in Lignified Secondary Cell Walls throughout Stem Development, explores the developmental and spatial expression of a range of laccases and peroxidases using fluorescent proteins. This work expands our understanding of the roles that different oxidative enzymes play across different cell types, cell wall subdomains and developmental stages in the formation of lignin.
Not only did it make the cover, the paper was also highlighted and discussed in a News and Views editorial.
