Identifying candidate genes/loci influencing barley secondary cell wall properties
… form cross-links through cell wall bound ferulic acid; this matrix influences the efficiency of enzymatic breakdown of the cell wall. Changes in lignin content, lignin composition and phenolic acid content have been shown to affect saccharification (sugar release from cell walls).<br/><br/>The …

Action of Allelochemicals on Algal Growth and Photosystem Ii Efficiency
… was 100 μM or higher for benzoic and cinnamic acids. Sesquiterpene lactones were PSII inhibitors that had a positive correlation between growth suppression and PSII reduction, indicating that interference with photosynthesis is a major mechanism of their allelopathic action. Kaempferol, a …

A study of the metabolism and metabolomics of polyphenols using isolated rat hepatocytes and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry
… used to transform the phenyl propionates ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid and the flavonoids quercetin and hesperidin. The products formed by enzymatic transformation were characterised by liquid chromatography in combination with high resolution mass spectrometry. This was followed by extraction …
