[GRAPHICS] Pathways for hydroxycinnamyl aldehyde incorporation into lignins are revealed by examining transgenic plants deficient in cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, the enzyme that converts hydroxycinnamyl aldehydes to the hydroxycinnamyl alcohol lignin monomers. In such plants the aldehydes incorporate into lignins via radical coupling reactions. As diagnostically revealed by long-range C-13-H-1 correlative NMR, sinapyl aldehyde (3,5-dimethoxy 4-hydroxy-cinnamaldehyde) 8-O-4-cross-couples with both gualacyl (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl-propanoid) and syringyl (3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl-propanoid) units, whereas coniferyl aldehyde cross-couples only with syringyl units.
