Formation of macromolecular lignin in ginkgo cell walls. In the lignifying process of xylem cell walls, macromolecular lignin is formed by polymerization of monolignols on the pectic substances, hemicellulose and cellulose microfibrils that have deposited prior to the start of lignification. Observation of lignifying secondary cell walls of ginkgo tracheids by field emission scanning electron microscopy suggested that lignin-hemicellulose complexes are formed as tubular bead-like modules surrounding the cellulose microfibrils (CMFs), and that the complexes finally fill up the space between CMFs. The size of one tubular bead-like module in the middle layer of the secondary wall (S2) was tentatively estimated to be about 16 2 nm in length, about 25 I run in outer diameter, with a wall thickness of 4 2 nm; the size of the modules in the outer layer of the secondary wall (S 1) was larger and they were thicker-walled than that in the middle layer (S2). Aggregates of large globular modules were observed in the cell corner and compound middle lamella. It was suggested that the structure of non-cellulosic polysaccharides and mode of their association with CMFs may be important factors controlling the module formation and lignin concentration in the different morphological regions of the cell wall.
