The emission of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, predominantly from fossil fuel combustion has received critical warnings several times as their levels exceed the tolerable limits in view of global warming. This calls for a paradigm shift from a fossil fuel‐based source to a less hazardous bioenergy source. Plant feedstock is an attractive source of raw materials for bioenergy production; however, chemical or enzymatic digestion of the feedstock is expensive owing to the supramolecular lignocellulosic barrier, indicating the need for better alternatives. Several attempts have been made towards reducing the biomass recalcitrance of straw using genetic transformations. We present a review highlighting potential plant candidates for bioenergy production, the lignocellulose composition of the feedstock, how the composition can impede enzymatic degradation, the regulation of lignocellulose polymer biosynthesis, and the influence of genetic transformation on biomass saccharification. Moreover, the review also discusses conflicting research interests in biomass recalcitrance and suggests a common ground. The review findings suggest that bioenergy production from crop straws will drastically reduce over‐dependence on fossil fuels and consequently pollution levels.

“…The F5H is the third P450-dependent protein that regulates lignin biosynthesis. It catalyzes S-monolignol from G-monolignol through 5-hydroxylation of coniferaldehyde and coniferyl alcohols [ 85 , 86 ]. The role of F5H in lignin production is proposed to be thwarted by microRNA from Bacopa monnieri ( Bm-miR172c-5p ) which cleaves F5H and interferes with lignin elicitation [ 87 ].…”

Fungi infections cause approximately 60–70% yield loss through diseases such as rice blast, powdery mildew, Fusarium rot, downy mildew, etc. Plants naturally respond to these infections by eliciting an array of protective metabolites to confer physical or chemical protection. Among plant metabolites, lignin, a phenolic compound, thickens the middle lamella and the secondary cell walls of plants to curtail fungi infection. The biosynthesis of monolignols (lignin monomers) is regulated by genes whose transcript abundance significantly improves plant defense against fungi. The catalytic activities of lignin biosynthetic enzymes also contribute to the accumulation of other defense compounds. Recent advances focus on modifying the lignin pathway to enhance plant growth and defense against pathogens. This review presents an overview of monolignol regulatory genes and their contributions to fungi immunity, as reported over the last five years. This review expands the frontiers in lignin pathway engineering to enhance plant defense.

Calixarenes are known to form host-guest complexes and supramolecular nanoassemblies with well-defined architectures. However, the use of these materials in conjunction with drug moieties is still under explored. One reason is the insuffcient biocompatibility studies. Our present study represents a systematic in vitro investigation of the cytotoxicity associated with Cmethylresorcin[4]arene, C-methylpyrogallol[4]arene, p-phosphonated calix[8]arene and a metalseamed calixarene-copper(II) complex, using human HEK293 and rat C6G cell lines and two different cell viability assays (MTT and CellTiter-Glo) to avoid species-biased results. All compounds showed low to moderate toxicity. The trend in the CC 50 values indicated that the suppression of the coordination ability and the presence of phosphonate groups decrease the overall cytotoxicity of the compounds. The results of this study not only establish calixarenes and their immediate families as potential drug carriers and drug modifiers, but also reveal a pathway for fine-tuning their toxicological behaviour by appropriate chemical modification.
