Visualising lignin quantitatively in plant cell walls by micro-Raman spectroscopy
Xun Zhang
Abstract
As a main component in plant cell wall, lignin is commonly determined by wet chemical analysis which only provides general information rather than specifics for different cell wall layers. To address this issue, we attempted to use micro-Raman spectroscopy for quantitative visualisation of the lignin in various cell wall layers during delignification.
