Substrate requirement for lignin biosynthesis

Using methods developed by Frits Penning de Vries 30 years ago, updated with recent understanding of lignin biosynthesis and respiration, Amthor (pp. 673-695) calculates that only 61-77 % of carbon available from photosynthesis can be retained during lignin biosynthesis. The monomer composition of lignin has a large effect on overall efficiency of lignin biosynthesis.
