Abstract
Lignification is a fundamental developmental process unique to plants. Despite its economic importance and huge advances in understanding its biochemistry and molecular biology, we are still largely ignorant of the cell biology of lignification. Existing subcellular immunolocalisation data for pathway enzymes is paltry and contradictory. This project make the first comprehensive study of the subcellular localisation of all lignin enzymes using the alternative technique of live-imaging microscopy. We will use a novel viral vector system that enables rapid, extremely detailed localisation data to be gathered for encoded GFP-fusion proteins expressed in planta. Confirmation we will be sought using a variety of other techniques.
