Phenotypic plasticity in cell walls of maize brown midrib mutants is limited by lignin composition

The hydrophobic cell wall polymer lignin is deposited in specialized cells to make them impermeable to water and prevent cell collapse as negative pressure or gravitational force is exerted. The variation in lignin subunit composition that exists among different species, and among different tissues...
